Exeter
Huddersfield
On April 26, "St. James Park" will host the 45th round match of the English League 1, where "Exeter City" will face "Huddersfield Town". I suggest betting on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Exeter City"
The team is unique in that, despite a long history, even by British standards, it has never reached the second tier of local football, let alone the Premier League. Moreover, at the beginning of this century, they experienced a significant downturn, even having to linger in the Conference. But gradually they established themselves in League 1 - last spring, they finished in thirteenth place there.
Currently, the club remains at about the same level - below the "equator" of the table but with a gap from the danger zone. Moreover, Caldwell's wards secured a couple of victories in April. As a result, they are simply finishing the season, hence the draw with "Burton" and even the defeat to "Crawley".
"Huddersfield Town"
The club is mainly remembered for its achievements, truly great but a century old. Not so long ago, David Wagner managed to unexpectedly elevate his players to the EPL and even kept them there for the next season. However, a disgraceful relegation followed (and the manager was dismissed even earlier), and last spring, they left the Championship as well.
The newcomer was initially considered a potential favorite, and initially, they held among the leaders. But since late January, they started to "collapse," and have not managed to regain their form. In spring, they lost 3/4 of their matches. The 1-2 defeat to "Stockport" was their fourth consecutive loss.
Match facts
- "Exeter City" has won once in their last five matches

H2H
The 2-0 in October became Huddersfield's fourth consecutive victory in head-to-head encounters.
Exeter City - Huddersfield Town prediction
Bookmakers favor the visitors, but they have long been underperforming. We bet that the home team will at least not lose (odds - 1.71).
