Bradford City travel to St James Park to play Exeter City for the third replay of the FA Cup first round proper between the two League two sides. The first meeting between the two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw before the second tie. The replay was played at Bradford City but was deemed void despite Exeter City winning 3-0 after extra time since Exeter City had used six substitutes in the game. Exeter City come to the game with an away 1-1 draw at Rochdale after their defeat at Colchester United. Exeter City have been conceding a lot of goals in the new season. However, they have compensated for a shaky defence by scoring more goals than conceded on more occasions than one and find themselves at third in the League two. Exeter City have had over 2.5 goals in eleven out of their last fourteen matches.

Bradford City will consider themselves lucky as they get to have a third go against Exeter City for a bid for a trip to Cambridge in the second round. The visitors drew 1-1 at Scunthorpe United in the league before the Exeter City tie. They are now winless for five straight fixtures. Despite not conceding a lot of goals, they are not in a good place in the league due to a lack of clean sheets. They have faced the brunt of low scoring defeats and have no clean sheets in their last eleven matches. It is also to be noted that three out of the last six matches played between the two sides have had over 2.5 goals.
