Who will win between Walsall and Leyton Orient?
Walsall hold a narrow edge at home, with CheckLive's read favouring the hosts for the EFL Cup tie, but the gap is small and low-scoring history makes an upset plausible.
Which side comes into this match in better form?
Leyton Orient arrive with four wins in their last five away games and 19 goals scored; Walsall are unbeaten in three but won only two of their last five. Orient's scoring run is the stronger form line.
Will both teams score in this EFL Cup tie?
Goals have been rare in this fixture — eight meetings average 1.6 per game, with no BTTS in four of the last five. A low-scoring cup tie suits the under or no-BTTS reads.
