Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Leyton Orient
Match Time & Date:
27/02/2024
20:45
Prediction: 1-1
Blackpool
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Oxford United, Leyton Orient will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Blackpool on Matchday 27. The O’s quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Burton, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they face an uphill task in the midweek clash. All Dan Happe, Jordan Graham, and Dan Agyei remain in the recovery, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Peterborough and Bolton. As Blackpool are eager to stay in the League One playoffs race as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jake Beesley, who scored a brace in the last league match, while experienced forward Jordan Rhodes remains on the sidelines through injury.
