Walsall and Leyton Orient go head to head in the EFL Cup round 2, with both sides arriving in confident mood. Walsall have made a promising start to the new League Two campaign and are yet to concede a goal. They also produced a major upset in the previous round, beating Bristol City 1-0. There are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts, while Aaron Pressley will be the man to watch after already finding his goalscoring touch this season.
Leyton Orient, meanwhile, aim to build on an impressive 2-0 League One victory over Wigan Athletic. The O's have won five of their last 10 matches and have scored 2.3 goals per game during that period, suggesting they possess enough attacking quality to trouble Walsall. Goalkeeper Nathan Baxter picked up a knock against Wigan, with Noah Phillips likely to step up between the posts. Orient have also been solid defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last 10.
Leyton have the stronger recent record and have been impressive going forward. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting tip for this EFL Cup clash, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Orient average 2.3 goals per game in their last 10, while Walsall matches average 3.0).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 19:45.
