Exeter
Burton
On April 18, "St James Park" will host the 43rd round of the English League 1, where "Exeter" will face "Burton Albion". I suggest betting on goals / cards / winner for this match.
"Exeter"
The team has never played at a higher level than its current, third-tier English football division. Only recently, in 2022, did they manage to climb here after a relatively long stay in League 2. So far, their ambitions have been limited to avoiding relegation back. Thus, last year's thirteenth place was quite a decent result.
Currently, Caldwell's charges have slipped, and they are still fighting to retain their place in League 1. Recent results have been modest - they only defeated "Barnsley" over the past month. And only in the last round did they beat "Bristol Rovers" 2-1.
"Burton Albion"
The club advanced to the Championship in the middle of the last decade and spent several consecutive years there. But then they declined, and now they are considered regulars of the third division again. With the caveat that their results have been consistently declining there recently. Last spring, they managed to finish at a "borderline" 20th place, just two points ahead of the relegated "Cheltenham".
Currently, the team often finds itself below the critical line, in the relegation quartet. But they are trying to rectify this situation, and not without success. They managed to win against "Shrewsbury" at home and "Leyton Orient" away. And they even thrashed "Huddersfield" 3-0 in the last round!

Exeter - Burton Albion Prediction
Bookmakers see the pair as equal. However, the guests are more stable - we bet on their victory with a "0" handicap (odds - 1.88).
