Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following back-to-back losses to Shrewsbury and Barnsley, Port Vale will look to give fans some cheer to celebrate when they take on Exeter in the League One round 33. The Valiants have been struggling at the back of late, and, as a result, they are stuck in the middle of the table. Anyhow, we are positive that the home side will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s showdown. Both Taylor and Politic are pushing for a start as boss Darrell Clarke should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the 3-1 loss to Barnsley in midweek.
The Grecians, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-match winless run, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. There are no fresh selection worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Stoke-on-Trent.
