Prediction: 1-0
Bristol Rovers
St James Park will host Thursday’s League One game between Exeter City and Bristol Rovers, who face each other on Boxing Day. The Grecians aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Burton Albion and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Bristol Rovers. Tristan Crama limped off with injury at the weekend, with Jack Fitzwater likely to step up.
The Pirates, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run in the League One. Bristol Rovers suffered a dip in form and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting in the League One Bristol Rovers defeated Exeter 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Adding to their woes, defender Michael Forbes should miss out through injury for the visiting side.
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.
