Exeter City v Walsall

League Two, game week 5 — Saturday, 5 September 2026, kick-off 15:00 UK time

Step 2 of 4 — Home and away form.

What this step says

-0.20 points a game is the venue form gap, in Walsall's favour: Exeter City takes 1.40 a game at home over the last two seasons, Walsall 1.60 away.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Exeter City: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season in the League One. Walsall: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season.

Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.

The two sides

Exeter City -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue: This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 1. Last season at home in the League One: won 8, drew 7, lost 8 of 23, scoring 30 and conceding 29 -- 1.35 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: drew with Barnet 1-1 at home; lost to York City 1-2 away; beat Accrington Stanley 2-0 at home; lost to Grimsby Town 0-1 away; lost to Bradford City 1-2 at home in the League One. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout: The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 19 matches with one recorded (10, 9 apiece), most recently Matthew Taylor with 10. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Walsall -- away

Its record at the relevant venue: This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 5 and conceding 2. Last season away: won 10, drew 6, lost 7 of 23, scoring 33 and conceding 26 -- 1.57 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: drew with Crewe Alexandra 2-2 away; beat Accrington Stanley 3-2 at home; drew with Grimsby Town 0-0 at home; beat Gillingham 3-0 away; lost to Bromley 1-3 away. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout: The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 14 matches with one recorded (10, 4 apiece), most recently Grant Lee with 4. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
