Prediction: 2-0
Northampton
Leyton Orient will be looking to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 defeat to Mansfield when they take on Northampton Town at Brisbane Road. The O’s are a real force to be reckoned with on home soil and Richie Wellens’ men will be eager to make amends in front of their fans. Midfielder Idris El Mizouni is banned for Saturday’s clash, but boss Richie Wellens still has a number of quality players to choose from.
Northampton, on the other hand, are widely seen as one of the main candidates for relegation. The Cobblers failed to reinforce the squad with high-profile signings in the summer transfer window, and the lack of depth is already showing. Their away record is another reason for concern, with Jon Brady’s troops suffering a 2-0 loss to Stevenage in their first trip of the campaign. To make things worse, the likes of Jon Guthrie, Patrick Brough, Louis Appere, Shaun McWilliams, and Akin Odimayo are struggling with injuries. Taking everything into account, we believe that home win should be considered.
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.
