Competition: EFL Cup
Market: Both teams to score – No
Odds: 11/10 @ Pribet
In what could prove to be a cagey EFL Cup tie on Tuesday night, Coventry will welcome Luton to the Midlands.
Starting with the hosts, while Coventry might have suffered play-off heartbreak once again last season, it appears that the Sky Blues are enjoying life under Frank Lampard’s guidance. Although the Midlands-based outfit might have missed out on a potential opportunity last weekend as they opened the 2025/26 campaign with a 0-0 stalemate at home against Hull, the former Chelsea boss should be smelling the chance to claim an immediate response here. With their sights set on mounting another genuine top-six charge this year, Coventry have gained a reputation for their rugged success on home soil. In fact, the Sky Blues won all of their final three regular-season showdown in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 5-0. It should also be highlighted, continuing on from last season’s play-off adventure, Lampard’s camp have recorded a clean sheet in four of their previous five matchups in the Midlands.
As for the visitors, suffering consecutive relegations over the past two campaigns, Luton have found themselves at the heart of what has been a public crisis. Desperately seeking some essential stability this time around, the Hatters have an immediate Championship return at the top of their agenda. Last seen over the weekend collecting a routine 2-0 victory away at Peterborough, Tuesday’s guests have opened the 2025/26 campaign with a real flurry. Getting proceedings underway with a 1-0 win against AFC Wimbledon on August 1st, the former Wycombe boss should be excited by his side’s new-found defensive steel. Signing off their summer preparations with a 0-0 stalemate at home against Premier League giants Tottenham, Luton shipped just a single strike in any of their five pre-season appearances. Likewise, continuing on from their summer plans, Bloomfield’s men have registered a clean sheet in six of their last seven outings.
