Exeter City vs Luton Predictions

• Exeter have seen both teams score in each of their two Carabao Cup games this term
• Luton rotated in a 3-2 win over League Two Gillingham in the last round
• The visitors have two huge Premier League games to come which should lead to major changes

Pair have come a long way

These two sides clashes in League Two in February of 2018, with Luton edging out Exeter with a 1-0 win to complete a double. They’ve risen up to the Premier League in the five years since, with Exeter also climbing into League One.

That’s led to a very different dynamic for their Carabao Cup victory on Tuesday night. While there’s now a huge gulf between the pair, issues for Luton could offer Exeter an opportunity this week.

Back goals with Hatters distracted

Luton drew 1-1 with Wolves on Saturday to secure their first-ever Premier League point. The Hatters face a make-or-break week following this game, as they head to Everton before hosting Burnley. With those games vital to their chances of staying up, expect heavy rotation for this visit to Exeter.

Luton did rotate in the last round, with their much-changed side winning 3-2 at home to League Two Gillingham. Luton have conceded in all six games this term and given how they struggled after making changes, Exeter should give the home support something to cheer about.

The hosts have seen both teams score in each of their two EFL Cup games this term, while they’ve scored in all but one of their home games, excluding EFL Trophy matches. The hosts have scored in five of their last six home games in this competition, while Luton have enough attacking threat in their second string to score, so back both teams to find the net.
