Prediction: 1-0
Exeter
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Harrogate, Sutton will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Exeter at their Gander Green Lane. Sutton aim to climb to automatic promotion places, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. You should know that Matt Gray’s men are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground.
Exeter, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures. Considering that the visitors are low on spirits ahead of the New Year clash, we are tempted to put our money on Sutton this time out. Both Sweeney and Caprice are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting team, with Hartridge and Coley likely to drop to the bench.
