Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Bristol Rovers and Burton Albion, Exeter City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Crawley Town on Matchday 23. The Grecians have found their best form in the year finale and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, talented midfielder Jake Richards is in line for a spot in the starting XI following his excellent performance against Bristol Rovers.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, losing each of their last three league matches. Given Crawley’s shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. In their last meeting at St James Park, Exeter defeated Crawley 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
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.
