Exeter City will be looking to make it two wins from two as they travel to Oldham Athletic in Sky Bet League Two.
The Grecians recently halted a difficult run with a 1-0 win over Crewe Alexandra at St James Park last weekend, but they travel to an in form Oldham side at Boundary Park.
Ahead of the match, manager Matt Taylor said: “It will be a physical, quick, game against a good team who will play the ball forward into our backline and pick up the second ball, and they’ve got some really good attacking threats.
“They’ve scored a lot of goals recently and showed what a good team they are.”
LAST TIME WE MET
The sides haven’t met since January 2012 in what was a 0-0 draw in League One at Boundary Park.
Prior to that the sides met in October 2011 at St James Park when the Grecians won 2-0 thanks to goals from Daniel Nardiello and Guillem Bauza.
