FootyMad's prediction ...

This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form Grecians, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Bury	Unbeaten in the last 4 home games. Unbeaten run of 9 matches.
Exeter City	4 games since last away draw. 4 games since last defeat.
