Brentford vs Leyton Orient Prediction & Betting Tips (17 September)

Brentford achieved the feat of remaining in the elite of the English championship for the 4th consecutive time in the Premier League. Consistency rewarded by an excellent start to the season for the “Bees”. Indeed, they managed to take the points at the right time, although the schedule put a spoke in Brentford's wheels. After a success during J1 at home against Crystal Palace 2-1, Brentford heard the "You'll Never Walk Alone" ringing at Anfield and lost this game 0-2. Back at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford beat Southampton 3-1 in J3 before falling to Manchester City with guns in hand last week in J4 2-1.

 Opposite, Leyton Orient is currently a resident of League One, the 3rd English division, for the second consecutive year. The goal is to maintain each year and why not consider a rise for this modest team but for the moment it is in bad shape. Indeed, Leyton Orient occupies 22nd place in League One. The “Dragons” started the 2024-25 season with 4 consecutive defeats at Bolton, Charlton, Birmingham and Shrewsbury before a saving success against Reading 0-1 last weekend.

2 colossal departures hit the ranks of the “Bees” this summer. Ivan Toney, the England international, has joined Saudi Arabia (Al-Ahli), while David Raya has permanently joined the Arsenal Gunners for the coming season. Conversely, the recruiting power of Brentford made it possible to get their hands on Thiago, van der Berg, Carvalho or Gustavo Nunes for operations exceeding 100 million euros of investment. As for Brentford, the long-term absentees Henry, Hickey (defenders), Nunes (striker) and Dasilva (midfielder) are still missing, as well as the striker who arrived at the club this summer, Igor Thiago, injured. Starting midfielder Mathias Jensen is also out, having joined the infirmary. Finally, a quick word to congratulate M'Beumo and Wissa, authors of 3 goals each. Change of atmosphere and financial means now. Indeed, Leyton Orient has the strength of a team which is playing to stay in D3.

Let's start with the infirmary. Theo Archibald and Jordan Graham both missed the last match at Reading. They will be withdrawn this evening. George Moncur is uncertain. Although this team struggles to provoke opposing defenses, Charlie Kelman continues to score goals (2 this season). Aligned at the forefront of the attack, it was he who found the gap in the opposing defense last weekend.
