Harriers underdogs for Grecians trip

Exeter's reverse at York last time out was their first in the league since the turn of the year but more recently Kidderminster have upped their game too and indeed Mark Yates' men where unfortunate to leave Stevenage empty-handed last week.

Nevertheless, the Grecians possess home advantage as the two go head-to-head and as they have lost just once at St James' Park all season, they enter the clash as Betfred's 8/11 favourites.

Harriers are a bulky 9/2 with Coral.co.uk to return with three points, evens to come out on top when given a goal start in Blue Square's handicap betting and 16/1 (betdirect) to edge it 2-1. However, as City have drawn seven of their 17 home matches, a stalemate, priced by Partybets at 12/5, could be Kidderminster's best hope of getting something from the contest.

Subsequently, a decent case can be made for the 6/1 bet365 post against a 1-1 scoreline, VCBet's 4/1 for the two sides to be on level terms at the close of each half and, for the more ambitious, Sportingbet's 14/1 for the pair to net twice each.

Elsewhere, Partybets make Harriers 4/7 simply to get on the scoresheet and 7/4 is available with bet365 for Kidderminster to be the first team to fashion a successful strike. At the other end meanwhile, the confident can obtain odds of 10/3 for Yates' defence to hold firm throughout and emerge with a clean sheet.
