In this week 5 match, on Saturday Aug 20th, Exeter City will host Cheltenham Town in a clash of these two extremely mismatched League One teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which is great football weather. Exeter City is fresh off their 3-1 win against Wycombe Wanderers. Harry Kite struck first for Exeter City in the 22nd minute, then Archie Collins added another in the 38th minute on a feed from Matt Jay. Exeter City is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while 23rd placed Cheltenham Town is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Fleetwood Town. Neither Fleetwood Town nor Cheltenham Town could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 15 and 15 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Cheltenham Town’s top weapon lately has been Alfie May, who has two goals in the last 5 matches. Jevani Brown has been the most prolific scorer on Exeter City in his last five matches with 3 goals.
