Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at St James Park pits together Exeter and Port Vale, the two bottom table sides. The Grecians are desperate to escape the danger zone, but keep in mind that they have not recorded a win in the League One since September 16, 2023. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Port Vale.
Meanwhile, the Valiants suffered a 1-0 loss to Bolton in their last league match, with the team remaining in 19th place in the standings. As Port Vale are eager to move away from the danger zone as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Andrew Crosby should field the best possible side this time out after resting several first-team regulars in the EFL Trophy loss to Bolton. Ben Garrity returns to the starting XI as well as Alfie Devine.
Highlighted Team (Exeter):
Nicknamed the Grecians, Exeter City are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at St. James Park. The stadium was opened in September 1904, and it can hold up to 8,696 spectators. Exeter City play their homes in white jerseys with red stripes, and black shorts, while violet and yellow are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Grecians made it to the FA Cup quarter-finals on two occasions (1930/31, 1980/81), with the team advancing to the FA Trophy semis in the 2005/06 season. The likes of Harry Gee, Cliff Bastin, Maurice Setters, Dick Pym, Fred Whitlow, Arnold Mitchell, Tony Kellow, Fred Binney, Darran Rowbotham, Lee Sharp, and David Pleat are one of the most notable footballers who played for Exeter City in the past.
Plymouth Argyle, Torquay United, Bristol Rovers, and Yeovil Town are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The Grecians currently compete in the League Two.
