The Glovers have managed to keep themselves out of the drop zone heading into the Festive period but only just. They badly need a win to give themselves a boost and this is a tough home game in which to make that happen. Exeter are sat in third place in the league heading into the weekend but their away form has left a lot to be desired recently.

Yeovil
ExeterYeovil Form
The Glovers are winless in six now with just the two points collected in that sequence. It hasn’t been the easiest run of fixtures for them to be fair though and this adds to that. They did recently take a great home draw against second-placed Notts Co so maybe they can draw a bit of inspiration from that. Yeovil are W4 D4 L3 at home this season and they have averaged 1.3 goals on home soil. So it hasn’t been horrible home form from them and they have opened the scoring in 5 of their 11 home games and have been ahead at half time in six of them. They do, however, have the second-worst defence in the league at the moment with only bottom side Forest Green having conceded more.
Exeter Form
Exeter are going well on home soil, but they have been having their struggles out on the road. They have gone winless in five away games now and have lost their last three on the bounce. One of those was against Chesterfield in mid-November who are second from bottom in the league and another was at Crawley who have had their struggles this season too. So it’s not been happening for the Grecians away and they haven’t taken a clean sheet in any of their last four. So both teams to score may well have some appeal in this one as the Grecians have scored in 73% of their away games. Overall Exeter’s away form is W4 D3 L4 and they are just struggling to find form at the moment.
