William Hill and Bet365 have both published early summer odds which see the Grecians trailing the favourites by some margin. City are currently priced at 14/1 and 12/1 respectively to lift the Conference title, whilst both companies make relegated Carlisle their 7/2 hot favourites. Closely following are last seasons Conference runners-up Hereford, whilst Stevenage, Aldershot and newly promoted Canvey Island are all also tipped for success ahead of the Grecians.
