Exeter City vs Forest Green Rovers Predictions

Tough test for the leaders

Leaders Forest Green Rovers suffered their first league defeat of the season last Saturday and they could be set to drop further points at Exeter this weekend.

Rovers’ 100% start to the campaign was ended by Port Vale who ran out 0-2 victors at The New Lawn and Rob Edwards’ face a difficult assignment at St James Park as they seek to bounce back from that result and a their midweek EFL Trophy exit against Northampton.

Exeter have lost just one of their opening five matches and have taken four points from a possible six at home, so this looks a pretty even contest as the bookmakers’ odds suggest.

The sides drew both of their league meetings last term and we’re predicting another stalemate this Saturday, a result which will likely please both managers.
