Prediction: 2-1
Fleetwood
Leyton will try to recover from a 3-0 loss to Derby County when they take on Fleetwood Town in the League One round 45. The O’s missed out on a spot in the playoffs, but, no doubt, their pride will be at stake in the season finale. Both Daniel Agyei and Robert Hunt are pushing for a start as Richie Wellens is expected to shuffle his pack against Fleetwood.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone with slim survival chances. Given Fleetwood’s poor defensive display in a 4-1 loss to Peterborough, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Graydon and Simons should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the 4-1 loss to Peterborough. Ireland forward Promise Omochere should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a penalty against the Posh.
