Exeter City face a trip to Stafford Rangers at Marston Road on Saturday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Grecians won the only previous game contested between the two teams.

The only previous meeting between Stafford Rgrs. and Exeter City at was less than a year ago, in February 2007, with Exeter City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Boro in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides

Stafford Rangers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Boro have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Exeter City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Grecians have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stafford Rgrs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 8 points from their 17 games thus far. Exeter City's 27 points from 17 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
