Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Exeter
LNER stadium will host Saturday’s League One opener between Lincoln and Exeter, the two teams who were beaten by Blackburn and Torquay respectively in their last test matches. Lincoln were struggling in front of goal in pre-season, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. The likes of Daniel Mandroiu, Paudie O’Conner, and Charles Vernam have joined the club in the summer transfer window, while John Marquis, Conor McGrandles, and Max Melbourne are no longer parts of the team.
Exeter, on the other hand, were having their ups and downs in pre-season, but they are surely capable of matching Lincoln in their opener. A close match is on the cards at LNER Stadium, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in the League One the two sides shared the spoils. A man to watch in the away team will be Matthew Jay, who scored 14 goals in the league last term.
