Exeter vs Barnsley – Betting Analysis
On League One Match Day 14 on October 8, 2022, Barnsley defeated Exeter City 0-2 in the last league meeting between these teams. Martin Coy served as the referee for the game.
Exeter are unbeaten in their last three home league games, and are winless in their last four league games at home. Soon, something must change.
Due to an almost full strength lineup of players, Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell only has one fitness issue to deal with. Kyle Taylor is eliminated from contention due to an ankle fracture and dislocation.
Michael Duff, the manager of Barnsley, just has one fitness concern from a group that is largely at full strength. Luke Thomas won’t be participating because of a lower leg fracture.
In what should be a close battle between the two clubs, we think it’s possible for Barnsley and Exeter City to both score.
