York City have made a promising return to League Two, collecting four points from their opening two fixtures. The newcomers started with an entertaining 3-2 victory over Bristol Rovers before sharing the spoils with Rotherham United in a 1-1 draw. Their underlying numbers have been particularly impressive, with York averaging 1.95 xG across their last 10 matches and failing to score in only one of those games. Zak Johnson picked up a knock against Rotherham, with Ryan Fallowfield expected to step into the side.
Exeter City, meanwhile, head into this clash after producing an impressive 2-0 victory over Accrington. The Grecians created plenty of opportunities, recording 19 goal attempts and 2.32 xG, suggesting their attacking display was more convincing than the scoreline alone indicates. However, their away form remains a concern, with Exeter failing to win any of their last five away matches and scoring just 0.60 goals per game in those outings. There are no fresh injury concerns for the visitors.
York have made the stronger start, while Exeter are winless in their last five away games. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this League Two matchup, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Neither of the two previous H2H meetings produced more than two goals).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
