Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Leyton Orient
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-2
Derby
Leyton Orient will look to record their first league win since October 14, 2023 when they take on Derby County on Matchday 21. The O’s have been slipping down the standings week by week, with the team dropping to 16th position and, no doubt, they are eager to put an end to their dreadful winless run. Thomas James has overcome his injury, but Aaron Diran remains in the recovery room.
The Rams, on the other hand, have been producing excellent displays in the League One of late, with the team extending their winning run to four games against Port Vale. Anyhow, Derby are more of a team than Leyton and we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. Paul Warne is likely to field the best possible side against the O’s after the 50-year-old tactician rested several first-team regulars in the EFL Trophy triumph over Fleetwood Town.
Highlighted Player (Conor Hourihane):
Conor Hourihane is an Irish footballer who plays for Barnsley. The midfielder was born on 2 February, 1991 and he started his youth career at Premier League club Sunderland. In 2011 he joined Plymouth Argyle and he spent three years at Home Park.
After scoring 15 goals in 125 appearances for the Pilgrims in 2014 Hourihane decided to take next big step in his career. On 23 June he signed a three-year deal with Barnsley for a fee of £250,000. In August he won the League One Player of the Month award and, no doubt, he made a flying start to his Barnsley career. Hourihane made 46 appearances for the Tykes in the 2014/2015 League One campaign, scoring 15 goals and he certainly helped the team return to the Championship.
The Irish midfielder has eight caps for the U-21 team. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as defensive and left midfielder as well. Conor Hourihane is a right-footed footballer.
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.
