In recent weeks Exeter have been playing some encouraging football, remaining unbeaten in their last three games, including a stunning 2-1 win at Portsmouth.
Two of these three games have resulted in draws however, much to the frustration of the St James Park faithful, who feel their side have been unlucky this campaign.
A case of déjà vu could be on the cards ahead of the Carlisle clash, as the Cumbrians are the joint leading draw specialists in League Two, with a tally of four already this season.
Whilst Grecian fans may have to settle for a stalemate, they may be in for a spectacle of a game, with goals widely expected.
Carlisle hold the record as the league’s top goal-scorers, netting 22 times, but they have been equally leaky at the back, also conceding on 22 occasions.
Similarly, Paul Tisdale emphasis on attacking football has seen Exeter matches involve three or more goals 50% of the time in all competitions.
A draw and both teams to score looks a fantastic bet at 3/1, whilst a repeat 3-3 score-line from Exeter’s last league game with Stevenage is also worth a flutter at 40/1.
In form Exeter winger, David Wheeler, is the clubs top scorer, with five goals already this season, and will relish the open game expected on Saturday. He looks the most likely player to open the scoring at 7/1.
Recommended Bets:
Draw – 13/5
Draw and both teams to score – 3/1
3-3 – 40/1
David Wheeler to score first – 7/1
