Prediction: 1-2
Oxford United
St James Park will host Saturday’s League One game between Exeter City and Oxford United. The Grecians missed out on a spot in the playoffs, meaning that they have nothing to play for in the last game of the season. Keep in mind, though, that they have won four of their last five league matches. Ryan Woods is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 2-1 win over Northampton Town, while Dion Rankine is a major doubt.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are desperate to pick up all three points from the match as they are sitting just below the playoffs berth. As Oxford United want this triumph more than Exeter City, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. Des Buckingham has no fresh injury worries ahead of the decider, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.
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.
