Exeter City vs Forest Green Rovers Predictions

Exeter City progressed in the EFL Trophy in midweek courtesy of a 2-0 win over Newport County, while Forest Green who also played on Tuesday night in the cup needed penalties to beat Coventry City.

All the stats suggest that Saturday’s game looks set to be a low-scoring affair and we’ve backed Exeter and Forest Green to playout a 0-0 draw.

Under 2.5 goals have been scored in two of the last three meetings between these two clubs and the last encounter between the pair ended goalless back in May, so you can start to see why we’re backing a 0-0 draw between the sides this Saturday.

Both teams arrive in good form so we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes this weekend, with Exeter only losing one of their last six matches and Forest Green remaining unbeaten in their last six games. Just one point separates these two clubs in the League Two table with both sides playing twelve games, which is another reason we are expecting a very tight and tense match on Saturday.

Exeter have drawn three of their last six matches, two of which produced under 2.5 goals, while Forest Green have drawn two of their last five matches, both of which ended goalless, and we believe there is a good chance Saturday’s clash will also produce fewer than three goals and is likely to end 0-0.

The performances of both teams over the last month or so also adds weight to our prediction of a low-scoring game this weekend, with under 2.5 goals being produced in four of Exeter’s and four of Forest Green’s last five matches, so neither of these clubs have been conceding a lot of goals of late and there is every chance Saturday’s clash will also produce under 2.5 goals.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Both teams have proven hard to beat this season and have lost just one of their last twelve matches combined. Both teams have been involved in low-scoring draws in recent weeks and we’re backing another one to be played out on Saturday.
