Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Exeter City and Charlton Athletic go head to head at St James Park in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Grecians aim to build on back-to-back wins over Shrewsbury Town and Burton Albion and you should know that they are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the league. Zak Jules is banned for the match, while both Admiral Muskwe and Demetri Mitchell remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Red Robins, on the other hand, were producing fine performances before the international window, with the team beating both Cheltenham Town and Carlisle United, while sharing the spoils with Fleetwood. Charlton and Exeter, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we believe that both sides should be happy with one point from Friday’s clash. Miles Leaburn remains on the sidelines with injury for the visiting team.
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.
