Exeter City enters this match after a mixed start to the season, recording two wins and three losses in their first five games. Despite this inconsistency, they will rely on their home advantage, having won one of their two matches at St. James Park.

Stevenage FC is enjoying a stronger start to the season, with two wins, one draw, and two losses. They come into this fixture with a boost of confidence following a commanding 3-0 victory against Barnsley. However, their away form has been a cause for concern, as they have yet to secure a win on the road.
Recent form and the history between these two teams suggests a close battle, with Exeter City’s superior head-to-head record being a crucial factor when considering betting tips for this match.
Exeter City has had the upper hand in recent meetings, including a 1-0 win in their last encounter. Playing at home gives them a further advantage, and despite their inconsistent start to the season, they have the quality to edge out Stevenage who have struggled away from home. Stevenage will need to overcome their travel woes to get anything out of this fixture. Our Exeter City vs Stevenage FC prediction leans towards a narrow home victory for Exeter.
Match Prediction: Exeter City To Win @ 6/4 with bet365.
Considering both teams’ recent performances and historical matchups, the most likely score prediction for this encounter is a 2-1 win for Exeter City. Their attack has been capable of scoring, especially at home, and while Stevenage has shown defensive lapses on the road, they are likely to get on the scoresheet themselves, given Exeter’s defensive troubles. Our 2-1 score tip in favour of Exeter City takes into account the potential for both teams to score, but also the historical data that suggests Exeter have the edge, especially at home.
Correct Score Prediction: Exeter City 2-1 @ 9/1 with bet365.
Given the attacking strength of both teams and their defensive frailties, an over 2.5 goals market seems a reasonable bet for this match. Exeter City has both scored and conceded regularly in their opening fixtures, while Stevenage FC has similarly been involved in high-scoring games, particularly in their last outing against Barnsley. Our Over/Under betting tips suggest that backing the over 2.5 goals line could be a solid option, with the prediction being that the final scoreline will feature three or more goals, likely ending in a 2-1 victory for Exeter City.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals @ 6/5 with bet365.
A great bet builder tip for this match could be to back Over 3 goals, Both teams to score, and Millenic Alli to score anytime.
