Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Fleetwood and Exeter face each other at Highbury Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Cods have been producing scintillating displays of late, with the team beating both Derby County and Lincoln in the last two league matches, and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Even though Fleetwood have slim playoffs chances, they obviously want to finish the season in style, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Grecians. Spanish forward Carlos Mendes limped off with injury in the last league match, with Harvey Macadam likely to step up.
Gary Caldwell’s charges, on the other hand, impressed in back-to-back wins over Accrington (5-0) and Barnsley (3-1), and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, but forward Sam Nombe could sneak into the starting XI after getting his name on the scoresheet against in the midweek triumph.
Highlighted Player (Nicky Ajose):
Nicky Ajose is an English footballer who started his youth career at Manchester United.
