Prediction: Plymouth Argyle to Draw or Win
This is an all-League One tie between two sides close in the table, making it a very even contest. Both teams have around a 50% win rate at home and away respectively. With the EFL Trophy down to the last eight, both will be cautious. A 90-minute draw is highly likely, but Plymouth Argyle edge it based on their January head-to-head result.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Luton Town
Having needed to be dragged away from a confrontation with fans on Saturday, it remains to be seen what lies ahead for Jack Wilshere at Luton.
A 1-1 draw at home to Burton Albion made it three games without success in League One, leaving the Hatters six points adrift of the playoffs. Wilshere now holds a record of 11 wins, seven draws and nine defeats from 27 matches, but just 30 points have come from 22 League One fixtures since his arrival.
As it stands, it is unclear whether his position as head coach is under threat, yet reaching the EFL Trophy semi-finals would represent a major step in the right direction. That is despite the fact that Luton are only in the last eight courtesy of League Two outfit Swindon Town fielding ineligible players in a 2-1 victory in the last 16 on January 13.

Plymouth Argyle
At a time when Luton have won just two of their last nine games in all competitions, Plymouth have recorded seven victories and three draws during a 12-match period.
Most notably, Tom Cleverley's side have scored 12 goals across victories over Blackpool, Leyton Orient and League One leaders Cardiff City. Netting five in a 5-2 win versus the Bluebirds on Saturday was arguably one of the most impressive feats by any team in the third tier of English football during 2025-26, and confidence is growing that they can gate-crash the playoffs.
Plymouth have recorded away wins over Leyton Orient and Bristol Rovers to reach this stage of the competition. The winner of this tie will go through to a home semi-final showdown with fellow League One club Northampton Town.
