Brentford vs Leyton Orient Prediction and Betting Tips | September 17th 2024

The action continues in round three of the EFL Cup as Brentford and Leyton Orient lock horns at the Brentford Community Stadium on Tuesday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since March 2014, when the Bees secured a narrow 1-0 victory at the Gaughan Group Stadium.

Brentford were condemned to consecutive away defeats in the new Premier League campaign as they were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City at the weekend.

Before that, Thomas Frank’s men were on a run of two back-to-back wins, seeing off Colchester United 1-0 in the EFL Cup on August 28, three days before claiming a 3-1 victory over Southampton in the league.

Brentford return to the Brentford Community Stadium, where they have won their two games this season, scoring five goals and conceding twice so far.

Leyton Orient, on the other hand, picked up a morale-boosting result last time out when they edged Reading 1-0 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

This was a much-needed result for Richie Wellens’ men, who had lost their previous two matches, including a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal Under-21 in the EFL Trophy on September 3.

Leyton Orient now return to action in the EFL Cup, where they picked up a 4-1 victory over Newport County on August 13, two weeks before seeing off Millwall 1-0 in the second round.
