Wrexham Preview

Exeter City will be looking to build on our recent strong form as we host high-flying Wrexham at SJP on Saturday.

After Saturday's goalless draw at Lincoln City, the Grecians are now unbeaten in six, picking up ten points, but are in for a tough test against a Wrexham side looking to break back into the automatic promotion places.

This is the first time City have hosted Wrexham at SJP since 2003 when Steve Flack's goal gave City the three points. The Grecians were on the end of a 3-0 defeat earlier in the season at Wrexham.

Thanks to your incredible support, SJP is a sell out for the match. Your passionate support is often the difference maker at the Park and we need you on Saturday as we look to keep climbing up the table!

Previous Encounter

Wrexham  Exeter City 0 | November 23 | EFL Sky Bet League One

City conceded three goals in League One for the first time this season as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Wrexham in North Wales. A trio of headers - two in the first half and a third 20 minutes before the full-time whistle, condemned the Grecians to a long journey home empty handed.
