STATS PICKS & ANALYSIS
Exeter City v Northampton Town
League Two – Playoff Final
Wembley Stadium
7.30pm, Sky Sports
When the regular season was finished early with 37 of the 46 fixtures played, Exeter were 7 points above Northampton in the table. The Grecians go off as the slight favourites in the 90 minutes Match Result betting this evening, at 17/10 (2.70). Northampton are 2/1 (3.00) to win in Normal Time.
Exeter are looking to make it third time lucky at Wembley, having lost in the Playoff Final in two of the last three seasons.
In the ‘To Lift the Trophy’ market, the bookies can’t split these sides, with Exeter and the Cobblers at 10/11 (1.91) each. The two league fixtures this season produced one win apiece, Exeter 3 Northampton 2 and Northampton 2 Exeter 0.
The Cards & Bookings stats stand out for us here…
The League Two stats on our website for 2019/20 show that Northampton are the top of the league for Total Yellow Cards, picking up more bookings than any other team in the division this season (84 Yellows).
In comparison, Exeter are joint-2nd bottom of that Total Yellows table, with just 48 for the campaign.
Our Most Bookings chart shows that Exeter are also the best-behaved team in League Two for that bet – receiving the Most Cards or Booking Points in just 8 games all season, fewer than any other side.
The Cobblers have landed that bet on 18 occasions, including their most recent outing, in the Playoff Semi Final, 2nd Leg last week (Yellow Cards score: 2-0, Booking Points score: 20-0).
From their last 6 matches, only once have Exeter have picked up more than one Yellow Card in a game.
There’s all to play for tonight for both teams, of course. But the season stats and recent form make the case for Northampton getting the Most Cards & Booking Points tonight…
STATS PICK:
Or: Most Cards (O Card Handicap) – Northampton @ 4/5 (1.80) with Bet365.
