Prediction: 2-0
Exeter
heffield Wednesday will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers when they take on Exeter in the League One round 44. The Owls are eyeing their 15th home win of the process, and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Grecians in “The Steel City”. Barring any fresh injury worries, Darren Moore is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pirates in midweek.
Exeter, on the other hand, do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team losing each of their last four league matches. The Grecians have nothing to play for in the remainder of the season, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Sheffield Wednesday’s party at Hillsborough. Exeter midfielder Jack Sparkes is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in Tuesday’s defeat to Derby County.
Highlighted Player (Reece James):
Reece James is a talented Chelsea defender who plays for Wigan Athletic on loan. Born in Redbridge, England on December 8, 1999, James started his youth career at Chelsea football academy at the age of 6. The talented teenager played for England U18 and U19 teams and he currently represents the U20 team on the international stage.
Reece James scored 3 goals in 45 appearances for Wigan in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but that did not help the Latics avoid relegation to the League One. His numbers from the 2018/2019 season are impressive as he completed 91 successful tackles, 54 blocks, 44 successful dribbles and 93 clearances.
James, on the other hand, has yet to find the net for the England U20 national team. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as both centre-back and defensive midfielder as well. Reece James turned professional in March 2017.
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.
