📝 Match preview: City v Port Vale

A look ahead to Saturday's match at St James Park.

12 April 2019

Exeter City return to St James Park looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Port Vale to Devon.

The Grecians go into the match following a late defeat in midweek to Macclesfield Town and they’ll be looking to strengthen their grip on a place in this season’s play-offs.

Ahead of the match, manager Matt Taylor said: “We need a reaction. It’s another opportunity, we’ve got five opportunities left, starting with Port Vale at the weekend but it’s a game we want to look forward to. People talk about pressure, but that’s why we’re in this business, that’s why people train and work as hard as they do, for moments like this.”

LAST TIME WE MET

The sides last met back in September 2018 when Nicky Law put the Grecians ahead at Vale Park. Despite it looking like City would go on to see out the win they were dealt a killer blow when Idris Kanu put the ball in from close range in the 97th minute of the match.
