Prediction: 2-1
Exeter
Saturday’s football game at Eco-Power Stadium pits together Doncaster Rovers and Exeter City. After enjoying a very successful preseason, Doncaster aim to kickstart their League One campaign in style, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Grant McCann’s troops. The club chiefs have signed the likes of Matty Pearson, Glenn Middleton, Robbie Gotts, and Brandon Hanlan in the summer transfer window.
The Grecians, on the other hand, did well to beat Swansea City 1-0 in their last warm-up game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the No. 1 candidates for promotion. As Doncaster have turned their Eco-Power Stadium into a real fortress, home win should definitely be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, top scorer from last season Millenic Alli has signed a deal with Luton Town.
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.
