Exeter City vs Swindon Predictions

• Each of Swindon Town’s last seven games have contained a minimum of three goals.
• Exeter defeated Swindon 2-1 away from home just a month ago.
• Swindon have the second-best attacking record in League Two, while Exeter sit sixth for goals scored.

Entertainment likely when play-off hopefuls meet

Just one point and one position in the League Two table separate Exeter and Swindon, with the home side sat one point behind their visitors with two games in hand as they do battle for a play-off spot. Exeter defeated Swindon 2-1 on away soil just one month ago, but will they be able to complete a double at St James’ Park on Tuesday?

Exeter come into the contest in decent form, winning six of their last nine games, but not tasting victory in either of their last two. Those clashes with Bristol Rovers and Mansfield Town, however, came on their travels, and the Grecians are unbeaten in four home games, winning three.

While Exeter’s record of 47 goals scored is League Two’s sixth-best tally, their visitors Swindon have netted ten more goals, and each of their last seven games have contained a minimum of three strikes. Indeed, Swindon have also shipped 41 goals at the other end, one of the worst records in the top half of League Two. Goals should be in store, then, when two of the fourth tier’s most lethal outfits meet.

Back over 2.5 goals in a difficult affair to call

Swindon’s away record is the best in League Two, with Ben Garner’s men picking up 33 points from 17 road trips. Exeter, however, have lost just two of their 15 home games. With Tuesday’s clash looking difficult to call, punters may be best advised to back the goals markets, and to do so with confidence.

Over 2.5 goals to be scored, for what would be an eighth consecutive Swindon game, looks the safest play for Tuesday. Meanwhile, the in-form hosts may have enough about them to repeat last month’s win, making a 2-1 home triumph a decent correct score prediction.
