Exeter City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Grecians have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Cherries have hit 10 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Exeter City are stuck down in the relegation zone of npower League One with a return of just 5 points from their 8 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Exeter City at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Grecians will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
