Exeter U23 vs West Ham U23 tips and predictions

Interesting price for Exeter U23

Let's start this preview with a caveat; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

Exeter U23 can take a heap of encouragement from the results they've posted leading up to this clash. The hosts have registered 7 wins from 14 matches. On a less impressive run than they'd have wanted, the travelling side has suffered reverses in 10 of their recent 18 matches on the road.

Exeter U23 will need to be prepared to come from behind to have any chance. The hosts have built up a head of steam in their previous displays. They scored two or more goals in 10 of their recent 12 matches while they have conceded no more than once in 9 of their last 11 home games.

West Ham U23 have not enjoyed some of their recent journeys. They conceded two or more goals in 16 of their last 20 away matches. Despite these stats highlighting fragility at times, be cognizant of the fact that this isn't a confident forecast. They've shown their powers of recovery before.

If the win is out of reach, they can nick something here. Don't rule out seeing the hosts come away in stalemate. The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for West Ham U23. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable.
