      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 League One, 11 places and 17 points above Exeter. The hosts have won 11, drawn eight and lost 13 of their 32 games this season, while Bolton have 15 wins, 13 draws and six defeats.

      Five of Exeter’s last six League One games have finished all square and Bolton are struggling to find a win, having gone three games without recording a victory. However, Bolton have won the last two head-to-heads between these sides.

      Both teams have solid defences. Exeter have conceded 34 goals this season in League One – an average of 1.06 goals per game from 32 games – while Bolton have shipped 20 away goals, an average of 1.18 goals from 17 games.

      A 1-0 away win for Bolton looks like a decent correct-score bet. No League One team has had fewer BTTS games than Exeter this term, and 11 of Bolton’s 15 wins were by a single goal.
