Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Brisbane Road will host Saturday’s League One game between Leyton Orient and Cambridge United, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The O’s are desperate to record their first win of the season and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Jordan Graham could sneak into the starting XI. The U’s, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings.
The league leaders recorded a routine 2-0 over Bristol Rovers at the weekend, with substitutes Okenabirhie and Kaikai finding the net. The duo is pushing for a start, but Mark Bonner is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that defeated the Pirates on Matchday 4. Anyhow, Cambridge United are more of a team than Leyton Orient and we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match.
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.
