Both Teams To Score – Yes

We already mentioned the previous matches between the two teams – in most cases, those were thrilling games with many goals. Especially when it comes to those at Cheltenham, see the results from the previous 5 years – 5:3, 1:1, 3:4, 1:3, 1:2. Even though Cheltenham got promoted last season and is in a higher league now, we can say that the teams are leveled in strength and we expect to see at least one goal from each side.

Half Time Double Chance – Draw or Exeter

Bookies consider Cheltenham to be the big favorite for this match. Yet again, the team is in terrible form and if you look at the recent stats, this full time result will seem highly unlikely. The only reason behind these odds is the difference in leagues. More importantly, Cheltenham has not been playing well in the first halves of its matches. The team often concedes a goal before the break or the half ends at a draw. Exeter, on the other hand, has been scoring in the first half and their current form suggests that the team will play better than expected in this fixture.

2nd Half Goals – Over 1.5

Despite the expectations for this match, we believe that there will be at least three goals total. And since we expect to see less action in the first half, we focus our attention and bets on the second half since the odds are incredible. Traditionally, more goals fall after the break and this is no different with those two teams, especially Exeter.
