Prediction: 2-1
Exeter
The New Lawn will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Forest Green and Exeter. The Green Army aim to build on a 2-0 win over Stevenage, where Jamille Matt extended his brilliant goal-scoring run. The Jamaica international has already netted 14 goals this season, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. You should bear in mind that the league leaders are eyeing their fifth consecutive win on home soil.
Exeter, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the League Two, meaning that they are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Nailsworth. Both Dyer and Grounds are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting side. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a goalless draw, but we are tempted to put our money on Forest Green this time out.

Ben Stevenson is a product of a Coventry City football academy who plays for Colchester United as a midfielder. Born in Leicester on March 23, 1997, Stevenson started his senior career at Coventry City and made his debut with the Sky Blues on August 9, 2016, in the League Cup game against Portsmouth.
The English footballer moved to Wolverhampton in the 2018/2019 season, but he did not see any game action in the league with the Wolves.

He made his second debut for Colchester United against Northampton Town on February 2, 2019.
His primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing good performances as a defensive midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 24 shirt at Colchester.
