Red-hot Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield are the big favourites to win this game for good reason, they're in good form, have a solid home record and have faced Exeter in the last couple of seasons. Martin Drury has his men set up in a compact, fluid shape that can switch to a two-striker setup when necessary, they press well and can overload midfields.
They come into this one in good spirits having won four straight matches, which includes a 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic in their last home game and a comfortable 3-0 stroll at Bradford City in their previous match. Across all comps, Huddersfield have now won seven of their last ten matches, losing just once.
Exeter’s mixed form
Exeter have been solid across all competitions, but have won five, drawn two and lost three of their last ten fixtures.
They arrive here off the back of a 2-1 away defeat to Salford City and are set to come up against a similar system to what they faced that day.
Matt Taylor's 4-2-3-1 sets up Exeter to play a similar style of direct, fast-paced football. They can sit and block up well, counter well and have an aerial threat. This should make things tough for Huddersfield at times, but their direct wide play could punish Huddersfield if the Terriers' press gets stretched.
Heading to Huddersfield
There's a gulf between the teams which could lead to a home win, but this is also a cup game and Exeter are more than capable of being competitive and getting forward. However, this seems a little more one-sided and it wouldn't take much for Exeter to be chasing the game.
Both teams to score - no at 93/100 is the selection that fits the game best here, with Huddersfield having the momentum to continue their impressive run of results.
