Coventry City vs Luton Town Prediction and Betting Tips | August 12th 2025

Coventry City will host Luton Town at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday in the first round of the 2025-26 League Cup campaign. Both sides will be keen to get a win and advance to the next round of the domestic cup.

Coventry returned to competitive football on Saturday, featuring in a drab goalless draw with Hull City in the opening round of the new Championship season and will hope to get their first win of the season this midweek. Frank Lampard’s side were eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of last season's edition and will have their eyes set on making it at least that far this season.

Luton Town, on the other hand, were eliminated in the second round of last season's edition of the Carabao Cup on penalties by QPR after a 1-1 draw in normal time. The Hatters are off to a perfect start in League One, with two wins out of two but will be up against a slightly stronger opposition when they take the trip to Coventry during the week.
