Peterborough United - Exeter City predictions and free betting tips [02/03/2024]

On the 2nd of March in League 1, England's third-tier division, at "Weston Homes" stadium, Peterborough United will play against Exeter City. Let's evaluate the current form of the teams and attempt to make a decision on what bet can boost our bankroll. Let's get into it.

Peterborough United

Last season, Peterborough United performed well, finishing 6th in the league and earning a chance to compete in the play-offs for promotion to the Championship. In the semi-finals, they played against Sheffield Wednesday, winning the first match 4-0, but the away leg surprised, with Sheffield earning a 6-1 victory in extra time.

This season, Peterborough continues to fight for promotion to the Championship, sitting at 5th place. In the 29th round, they suffered a 2-3 defeat against Wigan Athletic. They then lost to Exeter City (1-2), and in the following round, they lost their third match in a row against Wycombe Wanderers 2-5. The team then suffered another defeat against Blackpool (1-2). Still, they managed to secure a victory in their last match, against Cambridge United, finishing 1-0.

Exeter City

The team has been playing in the English League 2 for the past 10 years, and finally, they managed to secure a place in League 1 two seasons ago. As a result, the team finished in 14th place, staking their claim as a serious competitor within the championship. They are currently in a bit of a rut, sitting at 15th place in the league after 30 matches.

After a 2-1 victory over Peterborough, the team won their away match against Wigan 2-1. Then, they suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat to Derby, losing on their home turf. The next match saw a loss to Lincoln City (0-1), and in the last match, they achieved a draw against Fleetwood Town, 1-1.

Head-To-Head

The last time Peterborough and Exeter faced each other was on the 6th of February 2024. Exeter walked away victorious, winning 2-1.

Predictions

Peterborough had a terrible run, suffering 4 consecutive defeats. However, they managed to break this streak with a win in their last match. Meanwhile, Exeter has also been struggling, not winning any of their last three matches. There's a chance for Peterborough to get revenge for their previous defeat against Exeter, so I propose a bet on the hosts' victory.

Total Predictions

Considering this match-up, I believe the teams can provide an efficient match, so I'd suggest betting on a total over 2.5.
