Exeter hosts Halifax this afternoon.

Exeter stand on 6th position, 5 points below the playoff line, but with 2 games in hand. They have a 10-7-1 home record with a 35-22 GD. They have won 7 and drew 1 in their last 8 home games, including victories against Stevenage, Torquay or Histon.

Halifax are standing on 18th spot, 10 points clear of the relegation zone, and with no pressure or motivation left. Their away record is 3-5-11 with a 23-35 GD. They have lost 4 in a row in the Conference, and their last 3 away without scoring.

Halifax lost 3-0 at home to Exeter in the first match, and history shows all victories in the last seasons in Exeter:

2006/2007 ENG 5 Exeter - Halifax 4:1

2005/2006 ENG 5 Exeter - Halifax 4:2

2004/2005 ENG 5 Exeter - Halifax 2:1

Exeter striker Adam Stansfield is a slight doubt for the visit of Halifax after he limped out of the match against Weymouth. Steve Tully is suspended, with either Andy Taylor or Jon Richardson his most likely replacement at full-back. Halifax manager Chris Wilder will be without key duo Andy Campbell (knee) and Adam Quinn (Achilles). However, Wilder will be able to welcome back top scorer Jon Shaw for the key relegation battle. Still, the second scorer Campbell will definitely not play, and without captain Quinn, the visitors will surely struggle to hold on. Considering their lack of motivation, and with the hosts' desire to make the playoffs, this should be an easy match. I expect a score like 2-0 here, but i'd rather go for the simple home win high stakes. Good luck.
