Bolton are brimming with confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Mansfield and given their fine home record, we predict that they will defeat Exeter City 2-0 on Matchday 20. The Trotters have been strong at home this season, winning 80% of their last five matches and collecting 2.60 points per game at the University of Bolton Stadium. Bolton average 2.00 goals per home match while conceding just 0.20, showing both attacking potency and defensive stability, even without forward Victor Adeboyejo, who was not missed in the midweek victory.
Exeter, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, earning 1.90 points per game overall, with a solid home record of 2.60 points per game but struggling away, scoring only 0.80 goals per game on the road. Their key defender Jack Fitzwater is suspended, which could hinder their defensive setup. Historically, Bolton have had the edge in this fixture and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday's encounter.
Given Bolton's excellent home record and Jack Fizwater's suspension for the Grecians, Home Win is our main betting tip. Additionally, Bolton to Score first and Under 3.5 goals (75% H2H) markets seem appealing.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 15:00.
