Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Brisbane Road will host Saturday’s football game between Leyton Orient and Burton Albion, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The O’s aim to build on a thrilling 4-3 win over Northampton Town and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Burton. Ruel Sotiriou is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Brewers, on the other hand, did well to beat Bristol Rovers on the road at the weekend, but their League One status is still in great danger. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Leyton Orient are on a three-game winning at home ground. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a boring goalless draw at Pirelli Stadium.
Highlighted Team (Leyton Orient):
Leyton Orient are the League Two side that welcome their rivals at Brisbane Road. The stadium, which was built and opened in 1937, can hold up to 9,271 people. When playing at Brisbane Road, the O’s wear red shirts and red shorts, while the colour of their away kit is blue.
Southend United are regarded as the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the A13 derby. Leyton Orient have the rivalries with the likes of West Ham United, Millwall, Brentford, Dag & Red, and Barnet as well. The O’s registered their biggest win on November 12, 1955 as they crushed Crystal Palace 8-0.
Speaking of the club’s heaviest defeat, Leyton Orient were beaten by Aston Villa 8-0 in the FA Cup round 4 on January 30, 1929. Leyton Orient have four London Challenge Cup trophies (1912, 1972, 1973, and 1993), with the team clinching the Dubonnet Cup title in 1911.
