Exeter City are quickly back on the road as they make the trip to Crawley Town in Sky Bet League Two.
Following a hard-earned point at Grimsby Town on Saturday where the Grecians were unfortunate not to claim the victory, they go in search of more points against a dangerous Crawley side who beat in form Newport County 4-1 in their last match.
Ahead of the encounter, City midfielder Jordan Tillson said: “They’ve had some good results. They beat Newport County 4-1 on Saturday.
“I’m sure that they will be up for it after a good result on Saturday. We can go there, be ourselves, and hopefully we can match them and better them.”
WHEN WE LAST MET
The sides last met towards the end of the 2017/18 campaign as the Grecians chased down the chance of promotion. In an exciting encounter, City were held to a 2-2 draw by Town, then managed by Harry Kewell as Jayden Stockley helped himself to two goals prior to Josh Yorweth making the score 2-2 in the 68th minute.
