Exeter City v Swindon Town: How to watch, TV channel, kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Exeter City and Swindon Town will get their EFL Trophy campaigns underway when they meet in Southern Group G on Tuesday.

League One Exeter have enjoyed a solid start to the season, registering two wins and two defeats from their four league games to date, while they will be on a high following Saturday's 2-0 success at a much-fancied Bolton Wanderers side.

Swindon's campaign has begun far less smoothly, as the League Two outfit have failed to win any of their five matches across all competitions and they currently sit just one place off the foot of the fourth-tier table.

Exeter City v Swindon Town stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Exeter currently sit 10th in League one after beating Bolton and Rotherham United but losing to Northampton Town and Peterborough United across their opening four matches.  They were also knocked out of the EFL Cup on penalties by Walsall.

The Grecians have never lifted the EFL Trophy and have failed to make it out of their group in each of the last two seasons.

Swindon have picked up just two points from their opening four league games of the season, although they have drawn both their away fixtures in the fourth tier, while they were dumped out of the EFL Cup by Crawley Town.

Exeter have a strong recent record against Swindon, losing just one of the last 12 clashes and winning each of the previous four, including a 1-0 success at the County Ground in the EFL Trophy last season.

Exeter City v Swindon Town team news

Exeter City team news

Exeter will be without loan winger Amani Richards for this game, as he is ineligible for the EFL Trophy after already featuring for parent club Leicester City's U21s in the competition.

Yanic Wildschut, who scored the only goal when these two sides met last season, is out with a serious knee injury, while fellow forward Josh Magennis was forced off against Bolton at the weekend and may not be risked.

Swindon Town team news

Swindon are boosted by the return to training of Ryan Delaney and Sean McGurk following recent injury layoffs and both could play some part in this game.

After coming off the bench to make their debuts in Saturday's home defeat to Notts County, new signings Kabongo Tshimanga and Dan Butterworth could now be handed starts.
