Betting Insights
- Exeter are a solid home team in League One with seven wins, four draws and four defeats from 15 games.
- Burton have been mediocre on the road in the third tier, winning three, drawing six and losing seven of their 16 trips.
- Exeter are slight favorites at 2.11, Burton are 3.38 and the draw is 3.36.
- Burton’s average of 1.06 goals per game on the road is one reason Exeter are fancied to edge this.
Prediction
But given Exeter’s good home record, recent dominance in the head-to-head and Burton’s lack of goals on their travels we are going with the home team to nick it and like the look of the under 2.5 goals bet at 1.76 .
