Plymouth and Coventry City lock horns at Home Park in an EFL Cup round two clash. Plymouth made a winning start to their cup campaign by beating Exeter 2-0, but the Pilgrims have yet to taste victory in the new League One season. Their recent numbers are still encouraging, though, with Plymouth scoring in all of their last 10 matches and averaging 1.90 goals per game. Both teams scored in 80% of those games, highlighting their tendency to produce entertaining encounters. Midfielder Michael Baidoo should be the only absentee for the hosts.
Coventry, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in their Premier League opener, but their overall form before that setback had been excellent. The Sky Blues won seven of their previous nine matches and conceded just nine goals across their last 10 games. Frank Lampard is expected to rotate his squad, with Torp, Awoniyi and Rudoni all pushing for starting roles.
Plymouth have scored in all of their last 10 matches and given Coventry's attacking potential, Both Teams to Score seems like the best betting option for this EFL Cup matchup. Additionally, Over 1.5 goals and Coventry or Draw bets are worth considering.
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 19:45.
