Exeter City host Cheltenham Town at St James' Park on Saturday 14 November 2026, with a 12:30 kick-off, in League Two. Exeter have conceded the fewest goals per game in the division and kept clean sheets in half of their matches. Cheltenham have seen both sides score in 79% of theirs, the 2nd highest rate in League Two, and sit 5th in the table, seven places above their hosts.
Exeter are 12th on 19 points from 14 games, with five wins, four draws and five defeats. Goals are hard to come by: they average 0.79 per game, the 2nd fewest in the league, and only 29% of their games have seen both sides score, the lowest rate in League Two. The flip side is a defence that concedes 0.64 a game, the fewest in the division. Just 21% of their matches have gone over 2.5 goals.
Exeter won 2-1 at Huddersfield in the FA Cup last Saturday, a week after a 2-1 league defeat at Salford. Before that came back-to-back home wins, 2-1 over Fleetwood and 2-0 against Crewe, and a goalless draw at Colchester.
Cheltenham are 5th with 21 points, having won six, drawn three and lost five. They average 1.64 goals a game, the 6th most in the league, but concede 1.79, the 3rd most, and have kept a clean sheet in only 7% of their games. Seven in ten of their matches have gone over 2.5 goals.
They beat Halifax 2-0 in the FA Cup last weekend after a 3-1 loss at Tranmere. Their last two home games before that brought a 1-0 win over Newport and a 4-2 win against Fleetwood. Earlier, they lost 4-1 at Oldham.
