THE Express & Echo have again teamed up with Exeter City to offer fans a chance to win a signed Grecians shirt as well as a pair of Big Bank tickets to Exeter City's home game against Gillingham Town on Tuesday, March 12.
All you have to do is predict the correct score from Saturday match at home to Northampton Town and, if you guess correctly, you'll be entered into a draw to win two Big Bank tickets to the game against league leaders Gillingham on March 12.
Game info and betting odds: Northampton come to St James's Park third in the Npower League Two form table, but have not been good on the road this season. Conversely, Exeter City are fourth in the form table but have been poor at home. As a result it is unlikely to be a game played between two sides at the peak of their powers on Saturday. Northampton won the corresponding fixture earlier in the season 3-0 and are known for their direct approach and long throws into the box. That would have been a problem for City defensively a few months ago, but they have tightened up at the back recently keeping six clean sheets out of the last ten games. I expect it to be a close match between these two sides on Saturday, with the points being shared in a 0-0 draw.
However, if you fancy Exeter City to win the match you can get odds of 11/8 with BetButler, which is better than Ladbrokes at 13/10 and William Hill at 5/4. However the goal market appears to be where the best value is. You can back under-2.5 goals at even money with BetButler, which represents great value with goals expected to be in short supply at St James's Park on Saturday.
Remember if you chose BetButler as you chosen bookies, you can place your bets at https://exetercity.betbutler.co.uk/#home where every bet helps Exeter City FC.
The Judge's verdict: Exeter City 0 Northampton Town 0
