Exeter City and Rotherham United meet in League One, with the hosts having just lost 0-1 in their last match, while the visitors drew 1-1. Both sides have been unable to find a win in the league recently, so this is a game where both need points to steady their own situations. Exeter City have scored 4 and conceded 6 in 8 matches this season. Their attack is still blunt but their defence has not collapsed badly, especially at home where there are 5 goals in 8 matches in the first half, and at half-time they are usually not at a disadvantage. As for Rotherham United, they have scored 11 and conceded 11 in 8 matches. They are a team that opens up and trades blows, with goals at both ends, but away from home in the first half they more often trail than lead. If the hosts score first from a spell of pressure around the second line, the game is likely to become one where Exeter City drop back to defend and wait to counter, which is the pattern that has kept them unbeaten in many recent matches. Meanwhile, Rotherham United will have to push up and open space for the hosts to counter again.
