Exeter City kick-off 2020 with a short trip to face Forest Green Rovers in a 3pm kick-off at the New Lawn.
The Grecians come into the match in fine form, and are now 7 matches unbeaten in the League thanks to Saturday's 2-2 draw at Colchester. City sit second in the league just two points behind leaders Swindon Town.
Ahead of the match, Ryan Bowman, who scored the only goal when the two sides met at St James Park earlier in the season said: "They are in good form but we don't want to concentrate on them too much. We know what to expect having played them a couple months ago."
