Prediction: 1-1
Blackpool
Buoyed by the EFL Cup triumph over Crawley Town, Exeter City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Blackpool in the League One round 2. The Grecians have been scoring goals for fun of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Kyle Taylor is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the EFL Cup victory, while defender Demetri Mitchell continues to miss out with injury.
Blackpool, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Burton and Derby, but beating Exeter at St James Park is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils on Matchday 2. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jake Beesley, who scored a brace in the EFL Cup triumph over Rams.
Highlighted Player (Nicky Ajose):
Nicky Ajose is an English footballer who started his youth career at Manchester United. Despite signing a professional deal with the Red Devils, Ajose did not see any game action for the English giants at the senior level. After spending the 2010/2011 season on loan at Bury, the 168-cm tall forward signed a contract with Peterborough United in the summer of 2011.
Nicky Ajose played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Chesterfield, Crawley Town, Bury, and Swindon Town on loan before joining Leeds United on a three-year deal in August 2014. However, the English striker made no more than three league appearances for the Whites before signing a loan deal with Crewe Alexandra. In September 2015, he returned to Swindon Town, signing a three-year contract with the Robins.
Nicky Ajose played for the likes of Charlton Athletic, Bury (loan), and Mansfield (loan) before moving to his current club Exeter City. The Grecians attacker was born in Bury, England, on October 7, 1991, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Blackpool):
Blackpool FC are a professional English club based in Blackpool, Lancashire. Considering that Blackpool is a seaside town, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Seasiders. Founded back in 1887, the club play their home matches at Bloomfield Road, which can hold up to 17,338 spectators. In the 2009/2010 season Blackpool secured promotion to the Premier League, but they were not competitive at this level, suffering relegation to the Championship the following season.
The club’s biggest success, though, came in 1953 when they defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in the FA Cup final. Blackpool are well known for their orange shirts, but the dominant colour of their away kit is white. Preston are considered the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the West Lancashire derby.
Charlie Adam, who played for Liverpool and has 26 caps for Scotland national team, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
