Prediction: 1-0
Barnsley
Leyton Orient will be looking to finish the season on a high when they host Barnsley at Brisbane Road. The O’s have shown real intent in recent weeks, picking up impressive back-to-back victories over Mansfield and Crawley to keep their late push for a playoff spot alive. Richie Wellens’ side appear to be hitting form at just the right time, and with no new injury concerns in the squad, the home side should be confident of extending their winning run.
In contrast, Barnsley have little to play for in this season finale. The Tykes are stuck in mid-table with no chance of promotion or relegation, and motivation could be lacking as a result. Injuries to goalkeeper Jackson Smith and midfielder Josh Benson further limit their options, and manager Neill Collins may look to rotate his squad and give younger players a run-out. With momentum on their side and a top-six finish still within reach, we predict that Leyton are going to pick up all three points from Friday's encounter.
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.
