📝 Match Preview: Blackpool (H)

Exeter City host Blackpool on Saturday in the first home league match of the 23/24 EFL Sky Bet League One season.

The 3pm kick-off is the first competitive meeting between the two sides since 2018s match in the FA Cup first round, which saw the visitors take a 3-2 win.

Both sides come into the match on the back of winning both of their opening matches of the season, meaning it is set up to be a fantastic encounter at the Park.

Previous Encounter

Exeter City 2 Blackpool 3 | 10/11/18 | Emirates FA Cup 

Exeter City fell to a 3-2 defeat in the first round of the Emirates FA Cup against Blackpool.

Three first-half goals for the Tangerines gave the visitors what proved to be an unassailable lead at St James Park, despite a phenomenal effort from the Grecians in the second-half that left them a goal short of what would have been an incredible second-half comeback.
