A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League One
Venue: John Smith’s Stadium
Sunday 4th January 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Huddersfield Town extended their unbeaten sequence to six matches in League One last time out with a creditable point on the road at 2nd placed Lincoln City thanks to a 1-1 stalemate at Sincil Bank, but The Terriers will be looking for all three points on Sunday afternoon.
Three draws and three wins have helped keep Huddersfield Town in the hunt for a possible play-off place come the end of the season and recent victories against the likes of Rotherham United, Port Vale and Northampton Town will give the Yorkshire club plenty of confidence.
The bigger picture shows Huddersfield Town have suffered just the single defeat in their last nine matches in all competitions and along with a pretty solid record on home soil at their John Smith’s Stadium of 7-3-2 25/11, the hosts look set for further success.
Exeter City occupy 15th place in the League One table and Gary Caldwell’s side have also been in encouraging form as The Grecians have picked up five wins from their last seven matches in all competitions.
A comprehensive 4-0 rout of Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup was followed by wins in the domestic third tier against AFC Wimbledon (home and away), Barnsley and Luton Town which will also give the visitors reason to feel upbeat about their chances on Sunday afternoon.
However, three of Exeter City’s recent four wins were achieved on home soil at St James’s Park while results away from home have been far less convincing; indeed, Exeter possess a pretty poor looking record on the road of 3-0-9 6/13 which includes the lowest goal-tally away from home in the division.
The Betting Verdict
Huddersfield Town have won five of the last six meetings against Exeter City.
The Pick :
Huddersfiled Town 1-0 Exeter City
