Use bet365 bonus code as Exeter take on Man City in David vs Goliath FA Cup tie

Jan 9, 2026 - 15:45

Cash-strapped Exeter City will take 8,000 fans with them to the Etihad Stadium to take on Pep Guardiola’s star-studded Manchester City in the FA Cup.

Ahead of 3rd Round weekend, bet365 are offering all new customers the chance to get up for the cup by netting £30 in free bets. All you need to do is sign up, using our code ‘TSPORT’ and place a qualifying bet of at least £10.

Pep may opt to rest many of his first-choice players, such as Erling Haaland, but should comfortably see off the League One side no matter who he picks.

The Grecians head into their dream tie following a run of seven points in nine – impressively beating AFC Wimbledon and Luton, and drawing 2-2 at Huddersfield last time out. They were emphatic 4-0 winners over Wycombe in Round 2.

Man City to win comfortably, but not by a cricket score

City faced third tier opposition in the Carabao Cup in September – beating Huddersfield 2-0. Exeter will look to hold out at 0-0 for as long as they can and, if and when they do concede, to not allow the floodgates to open.

Man City to win to nil
Under 3.5 goals
