Prediction: 1-1
Mansfield
Exeter and Mansfield square off against each other at St James Park in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Grecians rolled over Blackpool 4-1 in their first home game of the season, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Boss Gary Caldwell rested several first-team regulars in the EFL Cup loss to Cheltenham, but the 43-year-old tactician is going to field the best possible side against Mansfield.
The Yellows, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Burton Albion and Doncaster Rovers. As both Mansfield Town and Exeter City are determined to return to winning ways in League One, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Experienced defender Rhys Oates is rated doubtful for the visiting team after picking up a knock in the EFL Cup triumph over Chesterfield.
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.
