Exeter are the visitors to the PTS on Saturday, fresh from their last gasp defeat in the Leasing.com Trophy tonight as they went down to a 96th minute goal from John Marquis as Portsmouth booked a return visit to Wembley.
The Grecians did make 10 changes from the team which won at Macclesfield last Saturday, only the goalkeeper survived the cull, so fatigue shouldn't be an issue for them come the weekend.
They have only lost twice in their last 16 league games, coincidentally those defeats were consecutive games against Port Vale and Swindon. They have scored in every away league game since early November.
Our head to head against them sees a decent record, with the defeat at St James Park earlier this season being the first time in 8 games they had beaten us. We have won our last three at home against them and there hasn't been a home draw since 1995.
Overall we have only lost 3 of our last TWENTY-SIX meetings with them, and lead the H2H 52 to 30 with 34 games drawn.
Referee for the game is Martin Coy, he has refereed us twice this season, the first being the 2-2 draw up at Morecambe and more recently the home game over Christmas against Cheltenham where we drew 1-1 and he showed a red to Alex Addai. On the two occasions he has reffed us he booked Jordan Turnbull and Sam Hoskins in both games.
He has reffed 25 games in total this season showing 75 yellow cards and 4 reds.
