Burton Preview

The Grecians are back under the lights at SJP on Tuesday night, as we host Burton Albion in a 7:45pm kick-off in EFL Sky Bet League One.

City will be looking for a response to Saturday's heavy 5-1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers as they welcome the Brewers back to SJP under the lights.

City's visitors head to the Park on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday and they sit 17th in the League just two places below the Grecians. Tuesday night could see the return of Academy product Alex Hartridge to SJP.

Tickets from the original fixture date are valid for this game. If you book early you'll save time and money and guarantee your spot at SJP

Your support makes a huge difference at our home, SJP. So come and back the boys in red and white as we look to get back to winning ways!

Head to Head Record

  • Games won: 4
  • Draws: 3
  • Games lost: 5

Exeter City 0 Burton Albion 0 | April 18, 2025 | EFL Sky Bet League One

Exeter City were held to a goalless draw by relegation battlers Burton Albion, despite a dominant performance at a rain drenched St James Park.

In conditions more akin to December than the Easter Weekend, the SJP surface somehow survived 90 minutes, but prevented the free-flowing game of football that would have suited both sides. Andrew Oluwabori thought he’d won it for the Grecians late on, but was denied by the offside flag in the closing minutes as City were made to settle for a point.
