City looking for a win on the road

City looking for a win on the road

Exeter City are away to Peterborough this weekend

Exeter City kick-off March with a trip to face high-flying Peterborough United tomorrow (Saturday 2nd).

The 3pm kick-off at the Weston Homes Stadium is the second meeting of the two teams within a month, after City picked up an impressive 2-1 win under the lights at St James Park on February 6. 

The Grecians will be aiming to return to winning ways after drawing with Fleetwood Town on Saturday and will face a tough test against a Posh side that sits in fifth place in EFL Sky Bet League One - the Grecians haven't won at Peterborough since 1988!

The Posh host City on the back of Saturday's 1-0 derby win over Cambridge United thanks to Ephron Mason-Clark’s strike.

Assistant manager Kevin Nicholson said: "We know how good a side Peterborough are and what good individual players they have and they are a good expansive footballing team."

"This will be a completely different game as they will be keen to put one over on us, and are fighting for promotion so need the three points. They're at home so it will be an occasion for their fans, but we need to prepare right to be really really clear on what the tactical part of the game will be.

"We also need to be clear on how we do react if they do get on top of us, or if something goes against us - anything that can happen that can throw you."
