Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stevenage will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run in League One when they face Leyton Orient in the round 17 clash. The Boro suffered a dip in form, but Saturday’s game could be the turning point for the home side. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Elliott List could sneak into the starting eleven.
The O’s, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Blackpool. Leyton Orient are not regarded as good travellers and given their three-game losing run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Speaking of the away team, USA forward Charlie Kelman could sneak into the starting XI following a couple of excellent performances in all competitions. In their last meeting at Lamex Stadium Leyton defeated Stevenage 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (Stevenage):
Based in Hertfordshire, England, Stevenage Borough are a professional club that compete in the League Two. The Boro are well known for their red and white home hit, while dark blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Stevenage play their home games at Broadhall Way, the stadium which can hold up to 6,722 spectators and they were founded in 1976.
The Boro have won FA Trophy on two occasions (2006/07, 2008/09), with the team clinching the Herts Senior Cup title in the 2008/09 season thanks to a 2-1 win over Cheshunt. Luton are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
In 2015 fighting broke out between rival fans near to the end of the clash at the Lamex. It has to be noted that Stevenage Borough were founded in 1976 after the bankruptcy of Stevenage Athletic.
