League Two Pre Match

Exeter City vs Bradford City
Kick off: 3pm BST

Starting with the visitors here, having followed their off season and pre-season recruitment including friendly games, this team look like a genuine side to challenge for the fourth division title. Their recruitment sees an overhaul in squad with new manager Derek Adams bringing in talent that he wants and matches his style of play - fast attacking football. In their pre-season matches, The Bantams have lost just once to Chesterfield whilst winning the other 6 matches (Blackburn, Accrington and Doncaster included with clean sheets). In terms of players to watch, striker Angol and Cook both have scored an abundance of goals (4 Cook goals and 3 Angol goals). Their midfield has some experienced players in and their backline has a good mix of youth and experience. I expect the visitors to score a few but also see few clean sheets throughout this season. Most of their results see a few goals...

Now to the hosts who have not won any of their last four friendly games building up to this game, taking defeats to Bristol, Shrewsbury and even Truro! Not only have they failed to score in these games, they have conceded 11 in their last five - making two Bradford goals all the more likely. Their pre season hasn't shed good light on their targets this campaign and their squad lacks experience. Their attacking threat is limited to 3 out and out strikers (all under 25) and their midfield sees only 2 over the age of 24. Their backline is experienced but ageing, I think Exeter will have a challenging season ahead given their squad and recent results.

By the end of the 90 minutes today, I expect Bradford to win this, even bias aside, the comparison in squad and results suggest a result in Bradford's favour. Bradford to win @3 is good value and Bradford Over 1.5 goals @2.75 is even better. Both combined @4.33 is worth a small stake. Below are my suggestions (I'm not a guru but Bournemouth - West Brom drew yesterday as suggested)

Bet - odds - stake
Bradford to WIN @3 [2u]
Bradford Over 1.5 Goals @2.75 [1.75u]
Both combined @4.33 [3.33u]
