      Both Teams To Score - No

      Reason for tip

      Both teams not to score stands out in this clash. Exeter have been reliable defensively all season and no League One side has had fewer BTTS results. Bolton are also strong at the back, so this has the look of a tight game where one side, most likely Exeter, could draw a blank.

      Bolton 1-0

      Reason for tip

      A 1-0 Bolton win looks the best correct-score angle. Exeter matches are regularly low scoring, while Bolton tend to win narrowly, with 11 of their 15 league victories coming by a single goal. With both teams defending well and goals expected to be limited, one moment could settle this one.

      Exeter City vs Bolton Predictions

      Bolton can edge a low-scoring battle

      Exeter have been solid at the back this season, and it is hard to see both sides scoring in Saturday’s League One clash between Exeter and Bolton at St James Park. Back both teams not to score.

      Bolton are third in the league, 11 places and 17 points above Exeter, with 15 wins, 13 draws and six defeats. The hosts are 14th with 11 wins, eight draws and 13 losses from their 32 games.

      Exeter are hard to beat, having avoided defeat in nine of their last ten League One games, but they have not won in six. Bolton have gone unbeaten on six of their last seven road trips and have enjoyed two successive wins over Exeter.

      Both teams have solid defences, with Exeter conceding just over a goal a game this season and Bolton shipping 1.18 goals per game on their travels. This could be a low-scoring affair.

      These teams could cancel each other out, with a 0-0 draw a real possibility. There have been under 2.5 goals in 19 of Exeter’s 32 League One games this season.
