Griffin Park, Monday, 7.45, live on Sky Sports
I'M going for three in a row after weekend wins for Preston and Napoli and I'm focusing on the Brentford v Orient game.
Orient have made a sensational start to the season with seven wins and are the only side in England boasting a 100 per cent record.
That makes Russell Slade's side tempting at a best 13-5 with William Hill – but one thing about a 100 per cent record is it has to end soon.
While Orient have beaten all-comers the one thing to note is the fact they haven't played any of the sides reckoned to be promotion contenders. Of the seven they've met currently the highest placed are Colchester in 12th.
Brentford come into the former category even though they sit 10th after an indifferent start to the campaign which came as no surprise after agonisingly missing out on automatic promotion last season.
In the last eight meetings between the sides there hasn't been an away winner and I reckon Uwe Rosler's side will avoid defeat and end Orient's run.
Whether they can win or not at a biggest 13-10 with William Hill and Paddy Power is another matter. The Bees are unbeaten at home with two wins and a draw and have conceded just one goal.
But Orient's confidence in front of goal will be high after hitting 13 goals in four games. They netted five last midweek against Notts County while Brentford's previous three matches have featured 19 goals.
Orient's last four have seen both sides score and that pays 5-6 at BetVictor while over 2.5 goals is tempting at 21-20 with William Hill.
It was 2-2 when the sides met last season and I'm going with a score draw that pays 3-1 at Ladbrokes.

Went on over 2.5 at skybet at 11/10 this morning. Seems a relativelt safer bet then a win draw win.
I would be hesitant to back orient for the reasons you given. Until they play some title contenders irs tough to measure them
George, you’ll need to advertise that elsewhere but you will be welcome to blog on here when we offer that facility.
Conor your 11/10 for O2.5 seems a bit skinny too Paul’s quote of 23/10?
I think he meant 23/20. I had 4.81 from a trixie which returns just over a tenner

Stephen, fair enough to say that after the result. Got to say Orient were impressive tonight and passed their first big test with flying colours.
