Exeter City - Derby County predictions and free betting tips [13/02/2024]

On 13th February, in the League 1, England's third-tier division, at "St James" stadium, "Exeter City" will play against "Derby". Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help increase our bank.

"Exeter City"

The team played in the English League 2 for 10 years. And finally, they made their way back into League 1, two seasons ago. Consequently, upon their return, the team secured the 14th place, establishing itself as a solid mid-table team. However, presently they're not doing well, as after 29 matches, the team stands at the 13th position in the league table.

After their win over "Bristol Rovers" (1:0), they beat "Barnsley" in a 2:1 game. But in the next match, they suffered a minimal defeat to "Bristol Rovers". Then they claimed a 2:1 victory over "Peterborough". In the latest round, the team won away against "Wigan" (2:1).

"Derby County"

The well-known "Derby County" has been going through tough times in recent years. Last year, "The Rams" performed quite well, but failures began in the last few matches of the season, and the team failed to make it into the play-off for a return to the Championship, missing by one point.

In the 27th round, they drew nil-nil with "Lincoln". But then, they somehow suffered a minimal defeat to "Reading". Following this, they won against "Cheltenham" with a score of 2:1. Afterwards, they managed to secure an away win against "Charlton" with a minimal score. In the last round, they had a draw with "Shrewsbury" 1:1.

Head-to-Head Meetings

The teams last met on 24th October 2023. In that match, the "Rams" secured a home victory with a score of 2:0.

Prediction

In this confrontation, I would suggest trusting the hosts and placing a bet on their zero handicap. "Exeter" has been playing exceptionally well in recent matches, often securing victories, so they should perform successfully on their home ground. "Derby", however, have been struggling in the recent games, barely scraping points against league's underdogs, but also losing quite a bit.

Total Forecast

I find it unlikely that the teams will achieve high scores, hence I would suggest placing a bet on a total over 2.5.
