FA Cup Betting Preview: Manchester City vs Exeter

Premier League giants Manchester City host League One outfit Exeter at Etihad Stadium, with kick-off set for 11:00 on Saturday 10 January.

The attractive -135 about the No selection on the Both Teams to Score market is our betting prediction. We think that Man City or Exeter will draw a blank during the ninety minutes.

Manchester City, who sit second in the Premier League, played out a 1–1 draw at home to Brighton at the Etihad Stadium in their last league game. The Citizens boasted 60% possession and recorded six shots on target, while Erling Haaland was the goalscorer.

Exeter City played Huddersfield Town away at John Smith's Stadium in their previous game, ending in a 2-2 League One draw.

In their most recent FA Cup engagement, Exeter secured a 4-0 home win against Wycombe Wanderers.
