Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Tuesday’s football game at St James Park pits together Exeter and Leyton Orient, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Grecians do not seem to be at their sharpest, losing four of their last five league matches, but their League One status is not in danger. Defender Vincent Harper is a major doubt as well as Jack Fitzwater, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
The O’s, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth. As both sides will go for a win in the midweek clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Speaking of the away team, Jack Simpson is likely to miss out with injury, while January signing Azeem Abdulai should keep his place in the starting XI following his fine performance in a 2-0 win over Reading.
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.
