Stevenage's hopes of making a late run for the playoffs have been boosted in recent days following outstanding wins at Barnsley and Wrexham.
The Boro are still seven points adrift of the top six but have only lost twice since the start of November.
Exeter are in freefall after Tuesday's 6-2 thumping by Leyton Orient left them winless in seven and now just eight points clear of relegation.
The Grecians have only won once on their travels since mid-October.
