Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Leyton Orient will host Peterborough United in a postponed League One clash, with both sides coming off fine performances. The O's were clinical in their last outing, securing an impressive 4-1 victory over Stockport County. They looked sharp in attack, with key players combining well in the final third. The home side will be confident heading into this fixture, especially with no new injury concerns to disrupt their preparations.
Peterborough, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers. Christopher Conn-Clarke is unlikely to recover in time to face Leyton after limping off with injury at the weekend. With Leyton Orient in good scoring form and Peterborough keen to make amends, this game promises to be an open, attacking affair. Taking everything into account, a high-scoring affair is on the cards. In their last meeting in the League One Peterborough defeated Leyton 2-1.
