Exeter City face a fellow promoted side for the second successive weekend as Bristol Rovers make the short trip down the M5.
Off the back of City's 4-0 win at Forest Green Rovers last weekend, the Grecians will be in a buoyant mood ahead of the clash with the side who finished third on the final day of the League Two season.
The Gas were beaten 1-0 by Accrington Stanley at home last weekend, a match which Matt Taylor speedily headed to following the full-time whistle at the New Lawn.
The sides met three times last season, with City winning 4-1 in the league at SJP, with a 1-1 draw at the Memorial Stadium, while Taylor's men also recordes a 5-3 win in the Papa John's Trophy.
Matt Taylor's Thoughts
Matt has given his thoughts ahead of this Saturday's fixture, having watched Rovers' fixture last weekend.
"The scoreline was only 1-0 but it was a very open game. We had fantastic seats really high up to get the full picture," Matt said.
"They've got a really strong squad just like last season. They score a lot of goals but don't keep a lot of clean sheets so will be looking for a lot of consistency.
"We will be looking for a positive outcome this weekend."
