Cambridge United vs Exeter City: Predictions, Lineups & Odds (15/02)

Exeter City will want to arrest their slump in form when they face off against League One’s bottom side Cambridge United in one of Saturday’s early kickoffs.

Our Three Predictions For Cambridge United vs Exeter City

• • • • Prediction 1 –  Joshua Stokes To Score – 12/5

• • • • Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 10/11

• • • • Prediction 3 – Exeter City To Win – 23/10

First Prediction For Cambridge United vs Exeter City – Joshua Stokes To Score – 12/5

The 20-year-old has stepped up in recent weeks and took Cambridge United’s most recent penalty in League action, scoring against Mansfield Town in their 3-2 win. The Welsh youth international has been the biggest spark in The U’s recent matches, getting five goal contributions in as many matches. Whilst they may have struggled to find results in their last two matches against Lincoln City and Birmingham City, Exeter’s weaker defence does offer chances for United’s attack to get goals and if so, Josh Stokes would be at the centre of that.

Second Prediction For Cambridge United vs Exeter City – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 10/11

These two sides have struggled defensively so there will be plenty of chances for the attackers to boost their tallies for the season. Both sides are on extended runs without clean sheets, with Cambridge going seventeen games in a row conceding, last shutting out a team when they played Northampton Town in November. Exeter’s run is just one game shorter than their opponents’ when they beat Chesterfield 2-0 in the FA cup. With the gluttony of goals conceded by both teams, this could be a high-scoring game.

Third Prediction For Cambridge United vs Exeter City – Exeter City To Win – 23/10

The Grecians had a very positive result on Tuesday night when they took Premier League side Nottingham Forest to the brink in the FA Cup fourth round, losing on penalties. Whilst fatigue from playing two hours of football may have an impact on the players, they will be boosted with confidence that they took a European-calibre team all the way. Cambridge United have also done well with results against Wycombe Wanderers and Lincoln, they might not be able to stop an Exeter team with a wide range of attacking outlets.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Cambridge United are still sitting at the bottom of League One going into this weekend and with the teams above them all getting multiple wins in their most recent games, the gap to safety has extended to seven points for Garry Monk’s side. However, The U’s have had arguably their trickiest run yet with games against Wycombe, Lincoln and Birmingham City and somewhat exceeded expectations by claiming draws against the former two teams. In their other two most recent matches, they lost to Rotherham United and beat Mansfield Town, their first win since early December. Exeter City have had a torrid time in League One as of late, having not won a game in the competition since beating Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day. What was one of the league’s best defences earlier in the season has largely collapsed in recent weeks, conceding six against Leyton Orient, four against Stevenage and three against Blackpool since the turn of the year. Their most recent game will be a major confidence booster for Gary Caldwell’s side as they pushed a much-rotated Nottingham Forest side to the brink in the fourth round of the FA Cup, losing 4-2 on penalties at St. James’ Park. They sit in 18th place in League One going into the weekend, five points above Shrewsbury Town in 21st place. This is a fixture Exeter City have largely dominated in the 22 matches these two sides have played since 2014, with The Grecians winning 13 matches. That is over double what Cambridge have managed, with six and there have been just three draws. The reverse fixture this season was a 1-0 win for Exeter when Ryan Woods scored the solitary goal in the first half.
