Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Brisbane Road will host Tuesday’s football game between Leyton Orient and Rotherham United, the two bottom-table sides. Leyton aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Northampton Town and are likely to fight tooth and nail against Rotherham. As the O’s had no more than five goal attempts in the last league match, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but right-back Tom James is only one yellow card away from suspension.
The Millers, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Wrexham. Considering that Leyton Orient are now on a three-game losing run in the League One, we are tempted to place our bets on Rotherham United, who have big ambitions for the 2024/2025 campaign. Jonson Clarke-Harris remains on the sidelines with injury for the visiting team.
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.
