Prediction: 1-1
Newport
A spot in the FA Cup round 2 will be at stake when Leyton Orient and Newport County square off against each other at Brisbane Road on Saturday afternoon. Leyton are on a three-game losing run in the FA Cup, but they are certainly capable of matching the fellow League Two side at home ground. The Exiles, on the other hand, are sitting in top position in the League Two ahead of their FA Cup opener.
Newport are enjoying a very successful season, but given their anything but good defensive display in a 3-2 loss to Carlisle United, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of keeping a clean sheet in Saturday’s football match. Leyton rolled over Bolton 4-0 in their last home game, and given Newport County’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
