Most recent H2Hs: Leyton Orient with the advantage

In the last five H2H meetings between Brentford and Leyton Orient, we saw Brentford win just once, while Leyton Orient have notched three wins, along with one draw. That being said, their last duel was back in 2014 and the two teams clearly had very different trajectories since then.

Brentford preview: Looking for a confident performance against a weaker rival

With three wins in the five games they've played this season, Brentford had a solid start of the season, especially if we consider the fact that their only two losses came against to title favourites in the Premier League, Man City and Liverpool. In any case, the Bees should have an easy job against Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup and anything other than a convincing win would be a surprise.

Meanwhile, Gustavo Nunes, Mathias Jensen, Igor Thiago, Joshua Da Silva, Aaron Hickey, and Rico Henry are all out with injuries at this time.

Predicted lineup: Valdimarsson (GK), Trevitt, Van den Berg, Mee, Janelt, Yarmoliuk, Onyeka, Damsgaard, Carvalho, Lewis-Potter & Schade

Leyton Orient preview: Hoping to put up a fight against Brentford

After eliminating Newport and Millwall in the League Cup, Leyton Orient will now face their toughest test yet since they are scheduled to meet Brentford, a team playing in the Premier League, away from home. While Leyton Orient have done well in the EFL Cup, they have struggled at the start of the new League One season, losing the first four games before finally beating Reading in the last round.

When it comes to team news, Daniel Happe is unlikely to play in this game after being subbed off with an injury against Reading.

Predicted lineup: Hemming (GK), James, Beckles, Cooper, Sweeney, Pratley, Warrington, Obiero, Agyei, Jaiyesimi & Perkins

Player to watch: Keane Lewis-Potter

The 23-year-old is getting some playing time in the Premier League too, so he's certain to start in the EFL Cup, where he already found the back of the net once in the previous round.
