Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Stevenage & Tottenham U21 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the EFL Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!

The hosts Stevenage saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the League Two. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Walsall.

Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage participated in EFL Trophy the last season, where they reached the group stage.

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Stevenage's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 4 points here at The Lamex Stadium.

In their previous game, the manager A. Revell led his Stevenage to a defeat in the League Two match away at Walsall. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Lamex Stadium. Midfielder Jake Reeves was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.3 (out of ten) in that game. Reeves had 55 successful passes (of 63 total).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Wycombe Wanderers (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) that ended 2-2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Swindon Town are coming to town in four days.

Stevenage has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Tottenham U21 form and stats

Tottenham's mission in EFL Trophy last season failed in the group stage.

4 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Tottenham U21 playing as the away team in the Premier League U21 this season.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Tottenham, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Gillingham.

Before that, Tottenham travelled to Colchester United (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the EFL Trophy game finished 1-1.

Tottenham U21 has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 18 goals from 11 games. 16 goals have been conceded by Tottenham in these games.
