Leyton Orient
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-0
Rochdale
Following back-to-back wins over AFC Wimbledon and Crewe, Leyton Orient will look to cement top position in the standings when they take on Rochdale in the League Two round 32. The O’s are leading the chase for automatic promotion, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Australia international Jordan Lyden is widely expected to return to the starting XI, with Craig Clay likely to drop to the bench.
The Dale, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 21 points on their account, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. Since Leyton are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the relegation-threatened visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. A man to watch in the away team will be veteran forward Ian Henderson, who found the net in a 1-1 draw with Northampton.
Highlighted Player (Adam Thompson):
Born in Harlow, England on September 28, 1992, Adam Thompson is a defender who plays for Bury in League One. Thompson started his youth career at Watford and after making 14 appearances for the Hornets at senior level, he moved to Southend United, signing a permanent deal with the club in January, 2014.
It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers and Barnet on loan as well before joining the Shakers. Adam Thompson has a short loan spell at Bradford City in the 2017/2018 season, but he made no more than nine appearances for the Bantams. Despite being born in England, Adam Thompson decided to represent Northern Ireland in international matches.
He made his debut with the Northern Ireland national team on February 9, 2011, coming from the bench in a 3-0 loss to Scotland. His main position is centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine showings at right-back as well.
Highlighted Team (Rochdale):
Nicknamed the Dale, Rochdale are a professional English club that compete in the League One (English third tier). Rochdale were founded back in 1907, after World War I, with the team beating Accrington Stanley 6-3 in their first league game 14 years later.
The Dale wear blue shirts with black stripes and blue shorts when playing at home, whilst gray is the dominant colour of their away kit. Spotland Stadium is the club’s home ground, with the venue holding no more than 10,249 spectators. Bury and Oldham Athletic are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have built up rivalries with the likes of Halifax Town, Burnley, Stockport County, Wigan Athletic and Accrington Stanley as well.
Back in 1962 Rochdale made it to the Football League Cup final, with the team facing Norwich City in the title game. The Canaries proved to be a big catch for the Dale, but this is still considered the club’s biggest success. It has to be noted that the Spotland Stadium outfit have three Lancashire Cup titles as well (1948/1949, 1970/1971, 2004/2005).
