Saturday's football game at St James Park pits together Exeter and Rotherham, with the hosts aiming to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bristol Rovers and put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions. Harper and James are both on international duty, while forward Sonny Cox remains injured. Exeter have been solid at home, taking 1.80 points per game across their last five matches and keeping clean sheets in 80% of those fixtures.
The Millers, meanwhile, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Crewe, where they failed to turn their dominance into victory. There are no fresh injury worries in Alex Bruce’s team, and Rotherham have been much more productive in front of goal, averaging 1.30 goals per game overall and 1.00 on the road. However, their away record has been inconsistent, with only one win from their last five away games.
Exeter’s excellent home defensive record makes Home Win our main betting pick, although Rotherham’s tendency to score should keep this competitive. Therefore, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals bets should also be considered.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 3 October 2026 at 15:00.
