Bristol Rovers

Exeter City

Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Goals may be scarce when Bristol Rovers face Exeter, with ten of Exeter’s last 12 league games producing under 2.5 goals. Despite their last meeting finishing 2-2, both clashes last season went under this line, suggesting another low-scoring West Country derby is on the cards.

Bristol Rovers 1-0

Reason for tip

Bristol Rovers could edge Exeter 1-0 at home. Five of their 12 league wins have come by that scoreline. Although they’re out of form, Exeter have only one win in six and tend to be involved in tight games, making a narrow home win the correct-score pick.

Gas can edge tense encounter

Goals could be at a premium when Bristol Rovers host Exeter in a West Country derby at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday, and under 2.5 goals looks the best bet.

Ten of Exeter’s last 12 League One games have had fewer than three goals and, while the last match between these sides had four goals, the two League One meetings last season both ended with under 2.5 goals.

Exeter are five places above Bristol Rovers in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts, who have 12 wins and 23 defeats, are 20th with the visitors 15th on 13 wins and 18 losses.

Bristol Rovers are struggling, with their last five League One games ending in defeat. Exeter haven’t been getting many wins either, having recorded only one victory in their last six games, but they beat Barnsley 2-1 in their last League One away game last week.

Home advantage could be key and a narrow 1-0 win for Bristol Rovers looks the most likely outcome. Five of their 12 league victories this season have come by that scoreline, and it would not be a surprise if they edged out Exeter in a tight game.
