The opposition:

Alike Luton, Stevenage made a winning start to their league campaign on Saturday with a 1-0 win against Barrow, courtesy of a second half strike from Jake Reeves.

Boro finished 14th in League Two last season and will look to build on that position under manager Alex Revell.

Last time we met:

In 2018, the two sides met in League Two and contested a 1-1 draw, with James Collins’ late penalty being cancelled out by an even later Danny Newton strike.

Referee: Gavin Ward

Assistant Referees: Bhupinder Gill and George Byrne

Fourth Official: Rob Smith

In charge of the game at the Lamex Stadium is Gavin Ward, a man who officiated the Hatters four times last season.

Ward took charge of the 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers and the 2-1 victory against Bristol City in 2020, before being in the middle for the away win versus Birmingham City and the memorable derby day result against Watford in April.

He was referee for 31 matches last season, dishing out 108 yellows and four red cards during that time.
