Brentford vs Leyton Orient Match Analysis & Prediction
17/09/2024 9:45 pm
Premier League outfit Brentford will host League One side Leyton Orient on Tuesday at the Gtech Community Stadium in the third round of the EFL Cup.
The Bees secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Colchester United in the second round of the competition on August 28, while the visitors beat Millwall 1-0 on August 27 to progress to this stage.
Thomas Frank’s Brentford will be hoping they can bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last time out on September 14.
Brentford took the lead after just one minute through a strike from Yoane Wissa, and although Erling Haaland scored twice in the first half to give City all three points, opposition manager Pep Guardiola was full of praise for the Bees’ performance in the first 45 minutes.
The Bees are currently ninth in the Premier League with six points after four matchweeks, and if they were to progress from the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, they would surpass last season’s showing in the competition.
Brentford had 72% possession against Colchester in the second round and limited them to just one shot in the first half but were fortunate to have not conceded considering Jack Payne missed a penalty in the 82nd minute.
Frank’s side come into the contest having won three of their last four competitive matches, while also losing just one of their last eight games at home, winning three times and drawing on four occasions.
Meanwhile, Leyton edged their most recent game against Reading 1-0 on September 14, a match in which they failed to create a single big chance, but they limited their opponents to just one big chance of their own.
However, Leyton’s league campaign has been poor so far given that the club are third-last in 22nd position with just three points after five matchweeks.
Richie Wellens’ side have been eliminated from seven of their last 11 ties in the EFL Cup and were knocked out by Plymouth Argyle last season on August 8 after they lost 2-0 in the first round of the competition.
Leyton have lost five of their eight competitive matches so far this season, including two of their last three, and they have lost two and won two of their four away games in 2024-25.
