Prediction: 1-0
Exeter
Brisbane Road will host Tuesday’s football game between Leyton Orient and Exeter City, the two teams who defeated Cheltenham Town and Stevenage respectively in their last league games. The O’s are nine points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. All Darren Pratley, Dan Happe, Theo Archibald, Jordan Graham, and Idris El Mizouni are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Grecians, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning four of their last five league matches. Exeter, though, missed out on a spot in the playoffs, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Sonny Cox is unlikely to recover in time to face Leyton, with Yanic Wildschut and Mo Eisa being rated doubtful as well. Zak Jules is back from suspension.
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.
