Crewe AlexandraNo absentees
Exeter City take on unbeaten Crewe Alexandra at St James Park on Tuesday at 7.45pm, a meeting of the division’s tightest defence and one of its unbeaten sides.
Our Exeter City vs Crewe Alexandra predictions point to a stalemate in this League Two clash, with Crewe’s draw-heavy, unbeaten start running into a home team that has not lost at St James Park all season. Both go into the 7.45pm kick-off hard to break down, and we see honours ending even.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson looks to the corners and a goalscoring draw for his two picks at St James Park.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 2.5 goals | 8/11 (Betfred) | Goals have been hard to come by in both camps. Exeter City have the tightest defence in League Two, conceding only six times in 11 games, and 10 of those matches have finished with two goals or fewer. Crewe Alexandra are unbeaten, yet eight of their 11 league games have also stayed under 2.5 goals, with six draws along the way. Exeter have scored just four times in five home games, so a cagey contest at St James Park looks the likeliest outcome. Betfred’s 8/11 on under 2.5 goals is the price to take. |
| Draw and both teams to score | 7/2 (bet365) | Draw and both teams to score at 7/2 captures the shape of this contest. Crewe Alexandra have drawn six of their 11 games and arrive unbeaten, while Exeter City have shared the spoils four times and have not lost at home all season. A stalemate feels the likeliest outcome, and with Crewe scoring in all but one of their games and Exeter capable of a goal in front of their own fans, both finding the net is realistic. The visitors have the division’s joint-best unbeaten record to protect, and the hosts rarely lose at St James Park, so a score draw suits both. At 7/2, pairing the draw with goals at both ends offers a tempting return. |

How Exeter City go into the game
Exeter City occupy 16th in League Two, level on 13 points but boasting the division’s meanest defence, having conceded just six goals in 11 games. The Grecians drew 0-0 at Colchester United last time out, a result typical of a side that has kept six clean sheets but also failed to score on six occasions.
St James Park has been a fortress, with Exeter unbeaten at home (W2 D3 L0) and conceding only once in five games there. The flip side is a lack of firepower, just four goals scored at home, which points to another low-scoring evening.
How Crewe Alexandra go into the game
Crewe Alexandra are the story of the early season, third in the table and still unbeaten after 11 games (W5 D6 L0). They head to Devon on the back of a 3-2 home win over Rochdale, a third victory in a row with Jordan Gibson leading the scoring charts on five goals.
On the road Crewe have been equally hard to beat, unbeaten in five (W2 D3 L0) and conceding only twice away from home. Six draws across the campaign hint at a team that can be contained, however, with 1-1 results against Rotherham United and Shrewsbury Town among that haul.

Exeter City vs Crewe Alexandra score prediction
Something has to give between the division’s meanest defence and one of its unbeaten sides, and the smart money is on honours even. Crewe Alexandra have drawn six times already and rarely lose, while Exeter City have shared the spoils in three of their last five and stayed solid at home. Both carry enough of a threat to find the net, so we are calling a level game. Score prediction: Exeter City 1-1 Crewe Alexandra.
