Tottenham Hotspur Football Club really is not to be envied these days and weeks. Because the top English club still has to struggle through the arduous Europa League qualification, coach Jose Mourinho’s protected have six competitive games in half a month’s agenda.
How tight the schedule is can be seen from the fact that the Londoners will compete in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening and a good 48 hours later in North Macedonia will fight for a place in the EL playoffs. The high load on the favorite is definitely one of the reasons why there are quite high odds on the away win between Leyton Orient and Tottenham.
Despite the adverse circumstances, the Leyton Orient vs. Tottenham prediction should not be neglected that the home side is a fourth division team that has started the season well, but should nevertheless have clear disadvantages in terms of quality.
Although “The Special One” will spare some top performers and instead send youngsters onto the pitch, we are assuming a sovereign success for the capital club, especially since the Portuguese star coach has already publicly announced that he wants to win every game. However, he made no secret of the fact that Mourinho is anything but enthusiastic about the schedule of this cup game.

Leyton Orient – Statistics & Current Form
For Leyton Orient, the League Cup home game on Tuesday against the English top club from Tottenham is a real highlight. All the sadder are the players and those responsible that the match with a derby character – the home side are also based in the capital – has to take place without spectators. However, that does not change the underdog’s ambition to create the sensation and to throw the star ensemble from London out of the competition.
Incidentally, the jump into the third round of the EFL Cup is a huge success for the “O’s”, which was last achieved in 2014. The club, which played in the National League two years ago and has meanwhile moved up to the fourth-highest division, was only twice in this millennium in round three of the Carabao Cup. They owe this to the two successes against Forest Green Rovers (2: 1) and Plymouth Argyle (3: 2), which rounded off a great start to the season.
Leyton Orient is still unbeaten this season
In League Two, too, the start for the red-blue went very well. The 17th from last year won on matchday one at Oldham Athletic and fought a 2-2 draw against Mansfield Town at the weekend.
On Tuesday, the outsider of course expects a completely different caliber, which is why we would advise against a tip on the home side despite the good form, the great self-confidence and the high motivation between Leyton Orient and Tottenham. The differences in quality are too significant and the defensive too unstable, which for example conceded two goals in the EFL Trophy against the U23s from Brighton and was able to keep the clean slate in the first five competitive games.
Probable formation of Leyton Orient:
➤ Vigouroux; Thomas, Turley, Coulson, Widdowson; McAnuff, Wright; Dennis, Maguire-Drew, Sotiriou; Angol

Tottenham – Statistics & Current Form
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is currently doing things in quick succession. Only ten days ago the Londoners started the new competitive season with a bitter 0-1 home defeat against Everton. Almost exactly two weeks later, the Mourinho protected will play their sixth match next weekend.
After the Lilywhites made it into the third round of the Europa League qualification last Thursday against Lokomotiv Plovdiv, where Shkendija went to North Macedonia on Thursday evening, the first Premier League success was achieved on Sunday. The capital club in Southampton prevailed 5-2 and made a strong impression, especially offensively.
Tottenham’s B-Eleven too strong for the fourth division?
On Tuesday Harry Kane and Co. are now challenged in the EFL Cup. It is doubtful whether the England international or his colleagues Son, Winks, Lucas and Dier will be on the pitch at Leyton Orient.
In view of the many games in a short time, it is very likely that “The Special One” Jose Mourinho will have a B-team. But even this should not be underestimated, which a look at the sonorous names such as Sessegnon, Alli, Gedson, Lamela, Bergwijn or Alderweireld underlines.
Although the rather unsuccessful past of Spurs in this competition – the Champions League finalist from 2019 failed in four of the last five participations at the latest in round four – we still believe that before the game Leyton Orient against Tottenham, the odds will be up a handicap success of the Spurs host an attractive value. The players from the second row will be particularly motivated and want to recommend themselves for higher tasks.
The probable lineup of Tottenham:
➤ Hard; Aurier, Alderweireld, Foyth, Cirkin; Gedson, Sissoko; Lamela, Alli, Sessegnon; Bergwijn

Leyton Orient vs Tottenham Betting Odds and Predictions
When a fourth division team meets an established top club in England in the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday evening, the omens seem to be cleared quickly. The starting position before the Leyton Orient game against Tottenham is not that clear. The odds on an away win by the favorite are surprisingly high with a 1.45 at the top, which is due to a very special circumstance.
The Spurs are already playing their fourth competitive game within ten days and will also have to compete in the Europa League qualification in North Macedonia on Thursday. This unbelievable schedule naturally makes the guests’ coaches feel upset. Still, we know Jose Mourinho as an ambitious person who wants to win every game.
Key facts – Leyton Orient vs Tottenham tips
🔺 Leyton Orient won four of the previous five competitive games this season
🔺 For Tottenham, it is the fourth game in ten days
🔺 The Spurs have to compete in the Europa League again on Thursday
Logically, we expect a B from the Londoners, but they will undoubtedly have the quality and class to confidently defeat the fourth division. Although the hosts started the season well and are still unbeaten after five competitive games, the “O’s” revealed weaknesses in the defensive area, which the Lilywhites will know how to exploit.
