What to expect
The game looks very even. Our numbers put Walsall at about 1.4 goals and Leyton Orient at about 1.3. That means the total should be close to 2.7 goals. There is almost nothing separating the two sides on those figures, so we expect a tight match rather than a free-flowing affair.
Both clubs have shown they can find the net, but the recent pattern suggests the goals will come from one side more often than both. The numbers hint that a clean sheet for either team is quite possible, even though the overall goal tally should be near three.
We pick “Not both teams to score”. The price of 2.10 is longer than what we see in the match, which makes the pick attractive. With a 54 % chance of happening, we think the odds are worth taking. The game should have goals, but they are likely to be one-sided.
For the pick to fail, both sides would need to score. That would require a more open game than the numbers suggest. We are fairly confident in our view, but we know football can be unpredictable, so we keep a moderate level of confidence.
