Victory in 90 minutes against their Ligue 1 opponent, combined with any result other than Forest Green Rovers beating West Brom U21 in 90 minutes, would be enough for the Greeks to reach the last 32
Exeter City head to Swindon Town tonight in the EFL Trophy knowing they can secure their place in the knockout stage with a win
A win within 90 minutes over their Ligue 1 opponent, combined with any result other than Forest Green Rovers beating West Brom U21s in 90 minutes, would be enough for the Greeks to reach the last 32
But even if they lost to the Robins, City know that victory in their last group game in November would almost certainly be enough to move forward, following a 3-2 win over Forest Green last month.
The Greeks enter the game after securing back-to-back wins over Mansfield Town and Port Vale, but before the game – the second of eight in October – Matt Taylor said with the volume of games he needs to cut and change your line-up
« It will be a different team on Tuesday night, » Taylor said, following the 2-0 Ligue 2 victory over Cambridge United on Saturday « But we’ve been stronger every week on the bench, and whichever team we choose will be strong enough to compete, and if we win it should be enough for us to qualify. » »
Nicky Law, Nigel Atangana, Jack Sparkes and Jake Caprice have all been selected as players who would enter the starting XI, while Ben Seymour, Jonny Maxted and Alex Fisher are also expected to have starts
