Exeter City vs Stockport Predictions

Stockport to take control at St James Park

Stockport are the bet away at Exeter on Saturday. Matt Taylor’s side host Stockport at St James Park, and Dave Challinor’s team can get the win.

Fifth-placed Stockport are 16 places above Exeter in 21st, with the two sides separated by 23 points, but the hosts have played two fewer games. Stockport have won 20 of their 41 games this season, while Exeter have won 12.

Stockport have scored an average of 1.80 goals a game in their ten League One games against teams in the bottom six this season, while Exeter have struggled up front in these matches, scoring just 0.70 goals on average.

Stockport are in good form, having been winners in four of their last six League One games. It is six matches since they last tasted defeat, a run that ended with a loss away to Lincoln last month.

Stockport have been in goalscoring form, netting two goals or more in four League One games in a row. They have scored in nine of their last ten league matches, including a 3-0 victory over Wycombe two weeks ago.

Stockport have kept Exeter at bay in the last three League One head-to-heads between these sides and have kept three shutouts in their last four games. They have conceded 28 goals on the road this season, an average of 1.33 per game from 21 matches.

Exeter have only won one of their last ten League One matches.

The hosts’ struggles up front are a concern, with Exeter failing to find the net in three of their last four League One home games.

A 2-0 away win for Stockport looks a decent correct-score option. Six of Exeter’s last eight League One games have ended with at least one of the sides failing to score, and Stockport have won 2-0 in two of the last three meetings between the teams.
