History of the Exeter City v Tamworth fixture

Exeter City prepare to entertain Tamworth at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Grecians have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at St James' Park was less than a year ago, in November 2003, as the Grecians squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides

Exeter City have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 10 to 8.

Exeter City's 15 points from 9 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position. Tamworth are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 7 points from 9 matches.
