Burton Albion vs Exeter City Predictions

Spoils to be shared at Pirelli Stadium

Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in 12 of Exeter’s 19 League One games this season and Saturday’s clash with Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium is unlikely to produce many goals.

Exeter are 15th in League One, eight places and 12 points above Burton Albion, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won. Exeter have seven wins and nine defeats from their 19 games, while Burton have won twice and lost 11 times.

Burton Albion have lost their last three League One games at home, but Exeter are also struggling, having suffered defeats four times in their last five matches. In fact, Exeter have not tasted victory in six League One fixtures.

The last four League One games between these two have finished with under 2.5 goals and seven of Burton Albion’s last eight matches in the division have also ended with under 2.5 goals.

Both teams are struggling to find the back of the net. Burton Albion have failed to score in six of their last eight league games and are on a run of three home games without a goal. Exeter, meanwhile, have gone three away matches without scoring and have failed to notch in four of their last six on the road.

With both teams unable to string together a consistent run of results and their matches producing very few goals in recent games, under 2.5 looks the best bet. Six of Exeter’s nine away games this season have gone under 2.5 to back-up the feeling this could be a match lacking goalscoring action.

Burton Albion have the slight edge in terms of recent results, however, it could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking like a decent correct-score bet.
