THE PREDICTION

League Two side Exeter City have garnered a reputation as the entertainers of the fourth tier, scoring the most goals of any League Two side so far this season, having found the net 40 times. The Grecians will likely adopt this fearless attacking approach once again in this match, despite playing a side two divisions above them. Sheffield Wednesday are currently without a manager following the sacking of Tony Pulis, but are enjoying a recent upturn in form having moved out of the Championship bottom three following their 1-0 win over Derby last time out. Question marks remain over how the visitors will approach this game with a number of unnamed players having tested positive for Covid-19 and how many young players will be afforded an opportunity to play. What is expected however are goals, with Exeter likely to take the game to their opponents and the Owls containing the superior individual quality to punish any defensive holes. With that in mind, over 2.5 goals scored looks very much on the cards.
