Football Bet of the Day: Unholy amounts of goals for the Minstermen

Paul Tisdale is usually pretty relaxed about Over 2.5 Goals

"Paul Tisdale's Exeter have shown a predilection for Over 2.5 Goals over a much longer period: 60% of the boss's 84 away games have brought at least three match goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.021/1 in York City v Exeter

Tobias Gourlay expects to be entertained in God's Own County tonight

York City v Exeter
Tuesday 19:45

The Blood and Golds added another layer of tarnish last night as they lost 1-0 at home to Valenciennes.

We, however, are feeling quite bright as we head back across the Channel and up north to Yorkshire.

Since Jackie McNamara took charge of York City, the Minstermen have won three and lost three at Bootham Crescent. But what's really exciting us is their record of not keeping a single clean sheet. Five of the six have delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total and, at a touch over evens, that's our bet for today.

Paul Tisdale's Exeter have shown a predilection for Over 2.5 Goals over a much longer period: 60% of the boss's 84 away games have brought at least three match goals. That percentage rises to 70% in matches where the Grecians have hit the back of the net at least once themselves.

Recommended Bet
Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.021/1 in York City v Exeter
