Leyton Orient vs Arsenal U21 Betting Tips: BTTS
Even though they will have the comfort of home, Leyton’s early results are questionable while Arsenal U21 are enjoying a stellar start to the season and will look to continue their form in the EFL Trophy, which suggests we are likely to see exciting football with goals at both ends.
While they successfully overwhelmed the first two EFL Cup hurdles against Newport and Millwall to advance, The Os have endured a disastrous start to their league campaign, being the only team in League One with zero points after four rounds.
With only one clean sheet from the first six matches, manager Richie Wellens is well aware that the defense is not performing as needed, and the weekend’s 0-3 defeat to Shrewsbury has only highlighted their defensive issues, which will be difficult to rectify by Tuesday.
Although Leyton Orient has previously shown a lack of commitment to the EFL Trophy, with their last two campaigns ending in the group stage, they are now keen to overturn this trend and make a stronger push in the tournament.
Their matchday one opponents will be an Arsenal U21 side brimming with confidence after picking up the maximum sum of nine points from their opening three games to top the Premier League 2 table, so they will aim to carry that brilliant league form into the EFL Trophy.
Beyond their stellar start to the domestic campaign, Per Mertesacker's troops can flaunt exceptional firepower in the final third, having netted at least three goals in each of their three PL2 outings (totaling 11) and will imagine causing more damage on Leyton's defense.
Given the circumstances, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Arsenal U21 kick off their EFL Trophy campaign on a positive note in a match where goals should flow freely at both ends of the pitch, as neither team shows much solidity at the back while both are quite adept offensively.
Leyton Orient team news
Despite their disappointing start to the domestic season, Leyton Orient heads into Tuesday’s EFL Trophy opener with a clean bill of health, ensuring a fully fit squad for the match.
However, manager Richie Wellens might make some adjustments to the starting lineup, especially after his team was hammered by Shrewsbury over the weekend, with Tottenham loanee Josh Keeley expected to take his place between the posts.
