Exeter City prepare to entertain Rushden & Diamonds at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Though only 25% of the games played between the two sides have resulted in a win for the Grecians.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St James' Park was less than a year ago, in February 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Conference match.
