When taking all factors into account, Bolton Wanderers should have enough to score against this Exeter City side, however that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Exeter City after the 90. Should be a good one.
