💡 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Burton Albion and Exeter City could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. That’s why our selection here is for a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
