Plymouth Argyle
- Plymouth are unbeaten in 5 (W3, D2).
- Tom Cleverley's Plymouth are more positive in their play than Matt Taylor's Exeter.
- Cleverley's side dominate possession, dictate the tempo and transition quickly to attack on the counter.
- Plymouth have scored nine goals in their last six home games in all current competitions, so the average is 1.50 per game, which is decent, but not great.
Exeter City
- Exeter are winless in 5 (D4, L1).
- Exeter have won 1, drawn 5 and lost 4 of their last 10 in all competitions.
- Exeter have scored five goals in their last five away games in all current competitions, which means they can nick a goal, but they cannot expect to control matches like this by being the team with most of the ball.
- Exeter's last two contests were a 1-2 home defeat to Bradford in League One and a 1-1 Home Park draw with Bristol City, which was a good result, but masks the fact that they could not convert possession into goals.
Head-to-Head
- In terms of recent head-to-head, the two sides are all-square after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the past 3 meetings.
- The draw was the most recent result, a 2-2 result at Home Park, which was only three months ago.
Plymouth
Aribim Pepple has been their sharpest edge with three of those nine goals in the current five-game sample, while Lorent Tolaj has been their spark in terms of creativity with three assists in the same five games.
Exeter
Reece Cole has been their most prolific finisher with three of those eight goals in the same sample period, while Ilmari Niskanen has been their most creative player with three assists in the same period.
