Exeter City will be looking to build on Saturday's thumping 4-0 win over Leyton Orient as they travel to face Scunthorpe United in a 7pm kick-off at the Sands Venue Stadium.
City will be looking to move back into the play-off places ahead of a tough couple of weeks ahead where they face promotion rivals Cheltenham Town and Tranmere Rovers.
Scunthorpe United picked up an impressive point away at Salford City on Saturday as Abo Eisa scored from the spot, and they will have eyes on avenging their earlier 3-1 defeat to the Grecians.
City will be without Tom Parkes, who serves the final match of his suspension.
JOEL RANDALL'S THOUGHTS
Exeter City winger Joel Randall says the Grecians are in confident mood ahead of Tuesday night's trip to face Scunthorpe United.
Speaking about the threat Scunthorpe pose Joel added: "If we can bring our intensity like we did on Saturday, I don't think we need to worry to much about Scunthorpe. If we worry about ourselves and what we can do we should get the job done.
