Exeter City vs. Luton Town Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Exeter City vs. Luton Town

After securing their maiden Premier League point, Luton Town aims to continue their journey in the EFL Cup by facing League One side Exeter City on Tuesday.

In the second round, the Hatters narrowly defeated Gillingham 3-2 to reach this stage, while their opponents have already triumphed over Crawley Town and Stevenage in the 2023-24 edition of the tournament.

Exeter made an impressive start to their season, with only one loss in their first eight competitive matches across all competitions. They even enjoyed a four-game winning streak from late August to early September, highlighted by a penalty-shootout victory over Stevenage in the EFL Cup’s second round.

This run allowed the League One team to reach the third round of the tournament for the first time in 34 years. However, Gary Caldwell has witnessed a stark downturn in their fortunes since then, including a record-breaking 9-0 defeat at home to Reading in the EFL Trophy just last week.

What to remember – Exeter City vs. Luton Town

Despite several first-team regulars expected to rest, Luton is anticipated to have a relatively smooth path against an Exeter team facing a morale slump.

The Hatters should also have the opportunity to secure their first clean sheet of the season in this encounter. Edwards’s squad is poised to conclude Exeter’s EFL Cup journey with a straightforward victory at St James Park.
