📝 Match Preview: Forest Green Rovers (A)

Exeter City's hunt for a play-off place continues as they travel to fellow promotion hopefuls Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday evening, 7pm.

City travel to The innocent New Lawn looking to pick up an important three points after the disappointment of being held to a goalless draw by Southend on Saturday.

Forest Green Rovers hope to continue their new manager bounce after Jimmy Ball oversaw a 3-2 win against Scunthorpe United following Mark Cooper's sacking. 

The Grecians are unbeaten in Nailsworth since 2007, with Nigel Atangana scoring the only goal - as well as being sent off - in City's 1-0 win on New Year's Day 2020. 

Lewis Page's Thoughts

Defender Lewis Page spoke to us on Monday and stressed the importance of picking up three points.

"We have to be prepared. We know they are going to be a good side," he said. 

"These are the sides you have to be beating if you want to have a chance of getting promoted.

"We have to be the very best we can be, like we did at Cambridge. We have to only worry about ourselves and not what they do."
