Exeter Preview – Can the Grecians finish the job?
There are plenty of positives for Exeter as they get this tie back to St James Park on Tuesday.
That’s because they have some excellent home form behind them at the moment.
It’s been a three-match winning streak there in League Two and across all competitions this season, Exeter have not suffered a loss at home.
So after their 1-1 away draw against Bradford, they will be looking to book their place in the next round.
At the very start of their League Two campaign this season, Exeter played out a 0-0 home draw with Bradford.
In their last seven matches (all competitions) Exeter have scored at least two goals.
So Exeter look in pretty good shape and they are the 5/4 favourites to win this match in FA Cup betting for Tuesday night* (odds recorded 19:38 GMT on November 29th 2021).
Looking back at their extended home form against Bradford, there are more positives for the Grecians.
Exeter are W3 D1 in their last four at St James Park against this opponent.
Given that these two have drawn twice already this season, if Exeter are to get across the line, it may not be by a wide margin.
It’s reasonable to assume that the Exeter 1 Goal Winning margin is going to feature at a quote of 3/1* (odds recorded 19:38 GMT on November 29th 2021).
With their current home form and form in general (five wins in their last seven league games home and away) it’s hard to look past the home win.
Bradford Preview – Missed chance for the Bantams
Bradford squandered home advantage then in this FA Cup tie and have been struggling for wins recently.
Looking at their League Two form, they have taken a W1 D4 L2 record in their last seven.
Away from home they have won two of ten road games, so this doesn’t look easy for them.
In the match outright for FA Cup betting, the win for Bradford is at a quote of 11/5* (odds recorded 19:38 GMT on November 29th 2021).
Across all competitions this season Bradford have won just two away games.
Those were both League Two victories.
Since winning at Swindon in late October, Bradford are winless in three on the road (D2 L1).
To their credit, they have lost only one of their last five away games (W1 D4).
But they look more likely to just hang in there and frustrat Exeter as opposed to going out and winning the match.
The Half Time draw certainly brings in some appeal for this one at a quote of 10/11* (odds recorded 19:38 GMT on November 29th 2021).

The last time that Bradford got a win against Exeter was in November 2019 in a League Two home game.
It’s been three draws and a loss since then. Overall, Bradford have beaten the Grecians once in their last eight meetings.

The Exeter 1 goal winning margin pick at 3/1 is an FA Cup tip* (odds recorded 19:38 GMT on November 29th 2021).
