Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a 2-1 loss to Barnsley, Leyton Orient will look to get back on course in the League One when they take on Northampton Town on Matchday 33. The O’s are hit by injuries as both Happe and Sotiriou were forced to leave the pitch earlier at the weekend. As a result, the likes of Pigott and Cooper should sneak into the starting XI.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run in the English third tier. As Northampton Town want to keep their playoffs hopes alive as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the visiting side, Louie Moulden should keep his place between the sticks as Lee Burge is sidelined with injury. There are no other fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
