Prediction: 2-1
Exeter
Cheltenham Town will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Fleetwood Town when they take on Exeter City in the League One round 42. The Robins are determined to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Grecians. George Lloyd limped off with injury in the triumph over the Cod Army, with Joseph Nuttall likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Exeter City, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. The Grecians are safe for now, meaning that the hosts want this win more than the visitors. As for the away team, loanee Admiral Muskwe remains on the sidelines alongside Demetri Mitchell, while Zak Jules is banned for the match. In their last meeting at the venue Cheltenham defeated Exeter 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
