Premium Tips

Andy narrowly favours Exeter, with goals also on the agenda.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Exeter or draw (Double Chance) and both teams to score13/10This fixture has a real habit of finishing tight, with four of the last six meetings between the sides ending level, so the double chance covering an Exeter win or draw makes a sensible base at St James Park. Both teams to score adds appeal: Exeter have found the net in three of their four League Two games, while Walsall arrive unbeaten and scoring freely, racking up eight goals in four including a 3-2 win over Accrington and a 2-2 at Crewe. With Exeter dangerous on home turf and Walsall netting regularly on the road, an Exeter-or-draw result with goals at both ends is a tempting combination.
Reece Cole and Sonny Cox over 0.5 shots on target2/1Reece Cole has been Exeter’s creative spark, an ever-present starter who has already scored and piled up five shots on target across four League Two games, so over 0.5 shots on target for him looks a strong, low-risk pick. Sonny Cox provides the second leg from the same forward line, an attacking option who adds to Exeter’s threat in front of a home crowd that has watched them create plenty of chances. With Exeter getting bodies and efforts into the box and Walsall’s defence set to be tested at St James Park, backing both to log a shot on target carries genuine appeal.

How Exeter go into the game

Exeter drew 1-1 with Barnet last time out, a hard-fought home point. St James Park is where their points must be won.

Dangerous and well-drilled, Exeter will fancy their chances at home. Turning draws into wins is the aim.

How Walsall go into the game

Walsall drew 2-2 at Crewe last time out and remain unbeaten. Confidence will be high heading to Devon.

Free-scoring and in good order, Walsall are a threat on their travels. A point would keep the run going.
