History of the Exeter City v Scarborough fixture

Exeter play host to Scarborough at St James Park on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Grecians.

The last time the two teams met at Exeter was back in August 1998, over five years ago, the Grecians carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Three match.
