📝 Match Preview: Oldham Athletic (H)

Exeter City are back in EFL Sky Bet League Two action on Tuesday night as the Grecians face Oldham Athletic under the lights at SJP in a 7:45pm kick-off.

The Grecians are unbeaten at St James Park since September 28 and will be looking to build on Saturday's 2-1 victory over Stevenage.

Ahead of the match, City shot-stopper Lewis Ward is keen that City take advantage of their strong home record and push on to record back-to back wins: "We are really strong at home and our form is really good there. said Lewis. "The crowd play a massive part for us and to be able to have back-to-back wins at home would push us on towards Macclesfield on Saturday."

THE CONTEXT

Exeter City come into the match on the back of Saturday's 2-1 win over Stevenage which moved City up to third in the table.
