Prediction: 2-0
Leyton Orient
Stoke City welcome Leyton Orient to Bet365 Stadium in the FA Cup round 3. The Potters kicked off 2022 with a 2-1 loss to Preston, meaning that they are low on confidence ahead of the visit of Leyton. All Brown, Doughty, and Surridge are pushing for a start, while the likes of Sawyers, Bursik, Thompson, Souttar, and Powell should miss out with injuries.
The O’s, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back defeats to Crawley Town and Tranmere Rovers. Considering that Leyton are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Championship side. When the two teams met in the EFL Cup back in 2009 Stoke City eliminated Leyton Orient after extra-time, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.

Steven Fletcher was eligible to play for both England and Scotland, but he decided to represent his mother’s home country. Fletcher made his Scotland debut in March 2008, in a friendly against Croatia. He did well to provide an assist for Kenny Miller, who scored the equaliser for the Scotts (1-1).
