Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
A place in the EFL Cup last 16 will be at stake when Exeter City and Luton Town take on each other at St James Park on Tuesday evening. The Grecians aim to recover from a heavy 3-0 loss to Oxford United, while the Hatters are desperate to make amends for their slow start to the season. Both Caleb Watts and Kyle Taylor are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Luton, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive in the Premier League, but they at least grabbed one point from the Wolverhampton clash. Luton are desperate to give fans something to cheer about and we believe that the time has come for Rob Edwards’ men to return to winning ways. In their last meeting in a competitive match Luton defeated Exeter 1-0 thanks to Harry Cornick’s goal. Summer signing Ross Barkley remains on the sidelines, alongside Jordan Clark, Dan Potts, and Gabriel Osho.

Nicknamed the Grecians, Exeter City are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at St. James Park. The stadium was opened in September 1904, and it can hold up to 8,696 spectators. Exeter City play their homes in white jerseys with red stripes, and black shorts, while violet and yellow are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Grecians made it to the FA Cup quarter-finals on two occasions (1930/31, 1980/81), with the team advancing to the FA Trophy semis in the 2005/06 season. The likes of Harry Gee, Cliff Bastin, Maurice Setters, Dick Pym, Fred Whitlow, Arnold Mitchell, Tony Kellow, Fred Binney, Darran Rowbotham, Lee Sharp, and David Pleat are one of the most notable footballers who played for Exeter City in the past.
Plymouth Argyle, Torquay United, Bristol Rovers, and Yeovil Town are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The Grecians currently compete in the League Two.
