Prediction: 1-0
Cheltenham
Leyton Orient will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Lincoln and Peterborough when they take on Cheltenham Town on Matchday 43. The O’s are nine point behind the playoffs places, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Defender Robert Hunt is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as well as Cyprus forward Ruel Sotiriou, who has netted ten goals so far this term.
The Robins, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone. Cheltenham Town, though, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Exeter, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. As for the visiting team, Wales defender Benjamin Williams should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match. In the first half of the season Leyton defeated Cheltenham 2-1.
