Prediction: 1-0
Shrewsbury
Following back-to-back draws with Northampton Town and Reading, Exeter City will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Shrewsbury Town on Saturday afternoon. The Grecians are on a five-game winless run at home, but they are surely capable of matching the Shrews at their St James Park. Forward Yanic Wildschut remains in the recovery room, but the 33-year-old should be the only absentee in the home side.
Meanwhile, the visitors are stuck in the relegation zone with only 28 points on their account. The rock-bottom side are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Devon, meaning that Exeter will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. The good news for the away team is that experienced forward John Marquis is back from suspension. It has to be noted that earlier this season, Exeter defeated Shrewsbury 2-0 at the Croud Meadow.
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.
