Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic square off against each other at Brisbane Road in the opening match of the Boxing Day program. The O’s suffered a 3-2 loss to Bolton on Matchday 24, but their display in the Toughsheet Community Stadium clash was anything but poor. Leyton failed to win the previous five home games in the League One and they face yet another tough challenge against the capital club. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both El Mizouni and Pratley could sneak into the starting XI.
The Red Robins, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Chartlon, though, managed to find the net in each of their last seven league games, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on both teams to score. As for the away team, all Sam Hughes, Kwadwo Baah, and Cole Stockton are rated doubtful.
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.
