Prediction: 1-1
Wigan
Leyton Orient will try to recover from a heavy 3-0 loss to Huddersfield when they take on Wigan Athletic in the League One round 2. The O’s did suffer the massive defeat in their opener, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into goals. Manchester United product Jack Moorhouse is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute against the Terriers, while duo Theodore Archibald – Jordan Graham remains in the recovery room.
The Latics, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Northampton Town. Wigan Athletic seem to be more of a team than Leyton at the moment, but with the O’s being tough to beat at home, there is a big value in betting on draw. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two teams in League One. Ryan Lowe is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Cobblers at the weekend.
