York looking to pounce on Exeter’s away struggles
York City FC will be a team to watch in this League Two 2026/2027 campaign, with Scott Lindsey's impact in charge since his appointment on the 27th of July having the Minstermen sitting 6th in the table after 2 games, 4 points.
Lindsey has built a high-tempo, high-pressing and quick transitioning game at York, and this is a great match-up for his side as Exeter are a team that like to build patiently from the back and like to maintain a disciplined mid-block with their players in place.
The Grecians do tend to play with their wing-backs on, which can get them into trouble against teams that can transition quickly, as York can, so we could see the hosts enjoying some success as they look to take the game to Exeter on Saturday.
York have the edge
Exeter, who are a point behind York in the early season table having taken 3 points from their opening 2 games (13th), have lost 2 of their last 3, including away defeats to Plymouth Argyle and Grimsby Town either side of their 2-0 victory over Accrington Stanley last time out.
While York's recent form is mixed (W1, D2, L2) in the last 5 games, they have found some momentum in their most recent outings (W1, D1), starting with a 3-2 win at home to Bristol Rovers before a 1-1 draw away to Rotherham United last time out.
Matt Taylor has done a good job since taking over Exeter on the 3rd of March 2026, giving the team a structured and possession based identity, but York should have the momentum and edge for this one.
Value in York Double Chance
Exeter have not scored in their only away game in League Two 2026/2027 and are yet to get on the scoresheet, a big red flag for this trip to face a side that have been perfect at home so far.
York have been given odds of 22/25 for the victory here, which look extremely short given what we know of the teams, so we're taking the value that is on offer in the double chance market with a York win or draw.
Alex Newby has been York's spark for this side and he's been on the score sheet in each of their 5-game run this season, finding the net twice in League Two 2026/2027, netting two of his side's last 6 goals in total, and we're backing him in the anytime scorer market.
Jack Fitzwater is Exeter's top scorer in League Two 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 2 games, while Luca Woodhouse has provided 1 assist in 2 games. Fitzwater gives them that little spark that the Grecians can often lack and is therefore worth backing in the scorer market.
