Best Tip: Man City to win

As the Man City players prepare themselves for this game, the bookies are predicting a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we take advantage of in our predictive algorithms. The Etihad Stadium hasn't been a successful away day for Exeter in the past, and we expect more of the same come Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
