Exeter's main focus this term will be on the league, but they are present in the second round of the EFL Cup courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Crawley Town in the first round of the competition. Caldwell's team have managed to make nine new signings this summer, while there have also been a number of departures, so there is a fresh look to the squad this season. The Grecians are unbeaten in their last nine matches against Stevenage in all competitions, with their last defeat to Tuesday's opponents proving to be a 3-1 reverse in League Two back in April 2018. Stevenage, meanwhile, will enter the contest off the back of a goalless draw with Portsmouth in League One on Saturday, which moved them onto 10 points from their five games this season and left them in fifth.

Stevenage head coach Evans, meanwhile, is expected to reward the players who impressed in the last round of the competition against Watford. The team is expected to be very close to the one that took to the field for the first whistle against the Hornets, meaning that there will be changes from the weekend draw with Portsmouth. Krisztian Hegyi is likely to get the nod between the sticks for the away side here, but there will be no Jake Forster-Caskey following his red card in the team's last match. Exeter City possible starting lineup:Sinisalo; Aimson, Diabate, Hartridge; Sweeney, Trevitt, Cole, Mitchell; Rankine, Nombe, Scott Stevenage possible starting lineup:Hegyi; Smith, James-Wildin, N Thompson, Burns, Butler; B Thompson, MacDonald; Freeman; March, Pressley We say: Exeter City 1-0 Stevenage This is a match that could swing either way, and it would certainly not be a surprise to see Stevenage progress to the next round of the competition.
The Boro were promoted from League Two last season, and it would be some story if head coach Steve Evans could help them rise into the Championship for the 2024-25 campaign. Stevenage claimed a scalp in the first round of this season's EFL Cup, beating Championship outfit Watford on penalties following a 1-1 draw. The Boro have actually won three of their last four matches in the League Cup, but as mentioned, their recent record against Exeter is incredibly poor, securing just one victory versus the Grecians since December 2014. Stevenage have also been very busy this summer in terms of incomings and outgoings, with Harry Anderson and Louis Thompson among those to arrive, and their start to the campaign has been impressive.

First, a miss-kick from Marko Marosi saw the ball fall for March in the box. He then took a touch before firing over just eight yards from goal. A few minutes later, Dan Butler then let fly with a dangerous shot from outside the box that flew inches past the post. Gradually, Town began to grow in stature. And we came close to opening the scoring in spectacular fashion. Taylor Perry picked up the ball around 30 yards out with their appearing to be little on. But the midfielder then hit a rocket towards the top corner which goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi brilliantly tipped onto the bar. Following what had been a stop-start half, the hosts then threatened again just before the break, when Carl Piergianni saw a header from a corner well saved by Marko Marosi.

Sam Nombe led the line in the last round of the competition, and the 24-year-old is set to earn a recall to the first XI, while Reece Cole should also be among the starters. Dion Rankine is likely to keep his spot in the side, though, and Caldwell is expected to name a strong team, as he will want to keep the momentum going early in the campaign.
Elliott Bennett returned to the squad following his appendix surgery last week while club captain Chey Dunkley was also fit enough to make the bench following an Achilles injury.

Match Report Clear-cut chances proved few and far between in the opening 20 minutes - but the hosts did create two opportunities to break the deadlock.
