Prediction: 2-1
Leyton Orient
Plymouth will look to book their place in the EFL Cup round 2 when they take on Leyton Orient at their Home Park on Tuesday evening. The Pilgrims aim to build on a splendid 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town, but keep in mind that boss Steven Schumacher is likely to rest several key players for the Championship game against Leyton Orient. All Butcher, Waine, and Azaz are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The O’s, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Charlton Athletic and given their poor preseason, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but experienced midfielder George Moncur should be recalled to the starting XI. In their last meeting in the EFL Cup Plymouth defeated Leyton, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (Leyton Orient):
Leyton Orient are the League Two side that welcome their rivals at Brisbane Road. The stadium, which was built and opened in 1937, can hold up to 9,271 people. When playing at Brisbane Road, the O’s wear red shirts and red shorts, while the colour of their away kit is blue.
Southend United are regarded as the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the A13 derby. Leyton Orient have the rivalries with the likes of West Ham United, Millwall, Brentford, Dag & Red, and Barnet as well. The O’s registered their biggest win on November 12, 1955 as they crushed Crystal Palace 8-0.
Speaking of the club’s heaviest defeat, Leyton Orient were beaten by Aston Villa 8-0 in the FA Cup round 4 on January 30, 1929. Leyton Orient have four London Challenge Cup trophies (1912, 1972, 1973, and 1993), with the team clinching the Dubonnet Cup title in 1911.
