Exeter City host Middlesbrough at St James Park on Tuesday (October 31) in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.
The hosts have had a difficult run of results in League One. Exeter beat Premier League outfit Luton Town in the previous round of the League Cup. Demetri Mitchell scored a late winner to clinch a hard-fought win for Gary Caldwell's men.
Exeter will play in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup this week for the first time since the 1989-90 campaign.
Middlesbrough, meanwhile, are playing well in the Championship. They beat League Two side Bradford 2-0 last time out in the cup competition. Summer arrival Emmanuel Latte Lath opened the scoring midway through the first half before Morgan Rogers doubled the Boro's advantage early after the restart.
