Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Brisbane Road pits together Leyton Orient and Burton Albion, the two bottom-table sides. Leyton are in a much better position than Burton than Burton as they climbed to 16th place in the standings following back-to-back wins over Bristol Rovers and Wigan Athletic. The O’s are determined to continue their ascent in the League One table and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Brewers. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Ritchie Wellens is unlikely to make changes to the starting line-up that faced Wigan Athletic at the weekend.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the EFL Trophy loss (0-4) to Stevenage and given their anything but good form in the League One, home win should definitely be considered. Defender Nick Akoto suffered an injury in the midweek defeat, but the 26-year-old is not regarded as first-team regular.
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.
