Coventry City will welcome Luton Town in the first round of the 2025/26 EFL League Cup. The winner will qualify for the second round. We have a prediction for this match below.
Coventry are seeking to get past the Carabao Cup first round for only the second time in the last four seasons. The Sky Blues made the third round last season. Frank Lampard’s men started their season this past weekend in the Championship with a 0-0 draw at home against Hull.
Despite the result, Coventry were dominant and had 18 attempts with 58% of the possession. Goals seem to be difficult to come by for the hosts, who also found it hard to score in preseason.
Luton Town have had a far better start to their season, settling quite nicely in the third tier. Matt Bloomfield’s men have won both of their League One fixtures without conceding.
They were as dominant in preseason, going unbeaten in four fixtures with three wins and zero goals conceded. Last season, as they suffered relegation from the Championship, the Hatters lost 3-2 in Coventry in an ill-tempered match.
They, however, would win at home 1-0 in the most recent fixture. Luton has made it past the EFL Cup first round in the last two seasons.

Our Coventry City vs Luton Town Prediction
Luton have started the season in splendid form, winning both of their League One games without allowing a goal. They have built on the momentum gained in pre-season and, now including build-up games, are unbeaten in six outings.
Coventry, on the other hand, were lethargic in their season opener and might take some time to get going. The hosts struggled in preseason as well and seem to have picked up on how sluggish they ended last season. It is for the reasons above that we fancy a win for the away side here. Our prediction for Coventry City v Luton Town is that Luton Town wins the match.
