Our prediction for this League 1 match:
St James Park will host Tuesday’s football game between Exeter and Peterborough, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Grecians aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bristol Rovers, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion hopefuls. Ryan Trevitt and Demetri Mitchell should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Posh, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Wigan and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Grecians. As there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, we are tempted to put our money on Darren Ferguson’s troops, who aim to move closer to the automatic promotion berth. In their last meeting in the English third tier Peterborough defeated Exeter 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Prediction: 0-2
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.
