Exeter City prepare to entertain Morecambe at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Grecians have won one and drawn one.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St James' Park was just last season, in August 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Conference match.
