Carabao Cup first round action continues on Wednesday night with Cheltenham Town taking on Exeter City at Waddon Road. The Grecians have beaten the Robins in the last two meetings between these sides. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Cheltenham Town have suffered elimination from the EFL Cup in the first round in each of the last three seasons, including against their upcoming opponent back in 2022-23.
The Robins have made a very poor start to the current season, losing both their League Two games so far, 1-0 to Cambridge and 2-0 to Chesterfield this past weekend.
The hosts have also found positive results hard to come by at home of late, with only one win recorded in their last eight competitive games at Waddon Road (W1 D3 L4). They also failed to score in each defeat during this period.
Meanwhile, Exeter City have got to the second round of this competition in two of their last three seasons. Notably, three of their last four EFL Cup campaigns went to penalties.
The Grecians lost their first league match of this season 1-0 away to Doncaster, but bounced back superbly with a 4-1 victory over Blackpool at home over the weekend.
The visitors have lost their last three competitive away games and have failed to score in five of their last nine such matches on the road.
