Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Leyton Orient and Stockport County face each other at Brisbane Road on day 30 of the new League One campaign. The O’s have been in a splendid form in late January, outplaying both Reading (2-0) and Exeter (6-2) in the last two league matches and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Azeem Abdulai, who scored a hat-trick against the Grecians, while both Sean Clare and Omar Beckles are major doubts.
The Hatters, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. As both Stockport and Leyton have been producing fine displays in League One of late, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
