Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Leyton Orient will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Bristol Rovers and Wigan Athletic when they take on Port Vale on Tuesday evening. The O’s have been struggling in front of goal of late, but a win over the Valiants will see them stay in the playoffs race. The likes of Theo Archibald, Adam Thompson, Dan Agyei, Jordan Graham, and Dan Happe should miss out with injuries for the home side.
Port Vale, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone and given their poor performances in back-to-back defeats to Derby County (0-3) and Shrewsbury Town (1-2), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. All Ryan Loft, Dan Gore, and Uche Ikpeazu are out of contention through injuries for the visiting side, while loanee Alex Mighten is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
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.
