Stevenage and Coventry City will do battle in a friendly encounter at the Lamex Stadium on Tuesday evening.
The hosts will be buoyed by their resounding victory last time out, while their visitors had to make do with a share of the spoils.
Match preview
Stevenage made light work of Jersey Bulls as they cruised to a 3-0 win in Saturday's meeting at the Springfield Stadium.
First-half goals from Harvey White and Daniel Kemp set Alex Revell's men on their way before Elliott List sealed the deal 15 minutes from time.
Consequently, the Boro have now stretched their unbeaten run to four matches dating back to last season, which is their longest streak without defeat since March.
Awaiting them next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have lost just one of the last six editions of this fixture, winning four of the other five.
However, that solitary win did come in the most recent clash back in 2018, when Tuesday's hosts claimed a 2-0 pre-season triumph.
Coventry City played out a goalless stalemate against La Liga side Getafe at Oliva Nova Golf & Beach Resort on Friday evening.
Mark Robins's men were on the back foot for large chunks of the contest but stood firm to come away with honours even.
That was an eighth straight winless game for the Sky Blues dating back to a 2-1 win over Leeds United in early April.
Having failed to score in each of their last three away involvements, Tuesday's visitors will need to step it up a notch at the top end of the pitch to stand any chance of emerging victorious here.
