On Tuesday evening, two League One teams, Exeter City and Stevenage, will face off in the second round of the EFL Cup. The match will take place in Devon. Both squads have commenced their league campaigns impressively, with Exeter holding the second spot in the standings, having accumulated 10 points. Similarly, Stevenage secures the fifth position with an identical point tally from their initial five matches.

Exeter City, 14th in League One last season, now sits second with 10 points from 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in five matches. Gary Caldwell’s squad comes into the game following back-to-back victories—2-0 against Carlisle United on August 19 and a 2-1 triumph over Reading. While their main focus remains the league, Exeter progressed to the EFL Cup’s second round by defeating Crawley Town 2-1. The team underwent significant transformation, adding nine new players and seeing several departures, resulting in a fresh-looking squad. Their unbeaten record of nine matches against Stevenage extends across various competitions, with their last loss dating back to April 2018 in a League Two fixture, where they succumbed 3-1.

Coming into the match, Stevenage drew 0-0 with Portsmouth in League One, attaining 10 points from five games to hold the fifth spot. Promoted from League Two last season, a rise to the Championship in 2024-25 would be an impressive feat under head coach Steve Evans. In this season’s EFL Cup, Stevenage caused an upset by defeating Watford on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Despite winning three of their last four League Cup matches, their recent track record against Exeter has been poor, with only one victory against them since December 2014. Summer saw considerable activity for Stevenage, with notable arrivals including Harry Anderson and Louis Thompson, contributing to their strong start in the campaign.
