Exeter – Stevenage preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Exeter vs Stevenage lineups.
Exeter
Exeter beat Crawley Town 2-1 at home in their first League Cup test and the Grecians are enjoying a very strong start to the season. They sit 2nd in the league table after 5 rounds with 3 wins and only 1 defeat.
Last Saturday Exeter recorded another 2-1 home win, this time vs Reading, to move into the top 2 in the league.
It seems the manager is happy to trust some of the younger players in the League Cup and this should happen again now. The 18-year-olds Cox and Borges could start in midfield, while up front teenage strikers Rankine and Scott should lead the charge.
Predicted Lineup:
Sinisalo (GK), Diabate, Jules, Aimson, Hartridge, Cox, Taylor, Borges, Rankine, Harper & Scott
Stevenage
Stevenage needed penalties to beat Watford in the first League Cup match. The Stags played a good game and after a 1-1 draw at home, they eventually triumphed in the shootout. Hungarian goalkeeper Hegyi, only 20, was the hero of that game.
Stevenage have a pretty small squad and they don’t have many options to rotate so fatigue might be a factor after a hectic start to the season, 6 games in 3 weeks.
Tiredness was the main issue why the last 2 displays looked a bit sluggish and Stevenage earned just 1 point from those matches while also failing to score a goal.
Predicted Lineup:
Hegyi (GK), Burns, James-Wildin, Smith, N. Thompson, L. Thompson, Freeman, March, Reid, Pressley & Roberts
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: James Scott
Exeter’s young Scottish striker James Scott opened his account in the league already and also provided assists for 2 other goals. He also scored in the only League Cup game so far and the youngster is clearly in fine form.
Scott is expected to start in the coming match as Exeter trust the younger players in the League Cup. This should give him plenty of opportunities to add more goals to his account.
