📝 Big Match Preview: Bury v City

Exeter City return to Sky Bet League Two action when they travel to Gigg Lane to take on Bury.

The Grecians will be looking to bounce back from their last league outing when they fell to defeat at home to Macclesfield Town.

Ahead of the match, manager Matt Taylor said: “It will be a tough encounter. They are in fine form, especially at home, they’ve scored a lot of goals, they play free flowing football, and they’ve got a lot of good attacking players on show.

“We’ve got to back ourselves, we’ve got to a good enough group of players to go there and certainly match them, give them a competitive game, and hopefully come out on top."

LAST TIME WE MET

The sides last met in February 2015 at Gigg Lane when they played out a 1-1 draw. The Grecians took the lead in the match when they went ahead through Arron Davies in the 13th minutes.
