Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Oldham Athletic and Leyton Orient go head to head at Boundary Park in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Latics aim to put an end to their six-game winless run, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the O’s. Christopher Missilou is on international duty, but the good news is that Sam Hart is back from suspension. Leyton, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win.
Leyton, on the other hand, did well to extend their winning run to three games at the weekend as they defeated Barrow 2-0 on home soil. The O’s, though, have recorded only two wins on the road this season, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. As for the visiting team, there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Oldham.
