Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at St James Park pits together Exeter City and Cambridge United, the two bottom-table sides. The Grecians are sitting just above the relegation zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the U’s. Dion Rankine limped off with injury in a 2-0 loss to Blackpool at the weekend, with Kyle Taylor likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat Fleetwood Town 2-1 at home in their last league match, but seeing that Exeter want this win more than Cambridge, home triumph should be considered. As for the away team, new signing Lyle Taylor is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last League One game, whereas head coach Neil Harris has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Devon.
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.
