Leyton Orient vs Port Vale Prediction and Betting Tips 31 January 2026

Leyton Orient return home after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Doncaster, hoping their stronger Brisbane Road form can steady them. As Leyton and Port Vale are eager to grab something from Saturday's clash, we predict a 1-1 draw. Despite sitting on just 0.80 points per game overall, their home return of 1.60 PPG is far more respectable. Richie Wellens’ side score 1.60 goals per home match, but defensive issues persist, conceding 1.40 per game at home and failing to keep a single clean sheet all season. The injury list remains problematic, with Connolly, El Mizouni, and Graham all ruled out.

Port Vale also come into this on the back of a setback, losing 3-1 to Exeter, and could again be without key midfielder George Byers. Their recent form is mixed (WWWLL), but they remain dangerous, especially in attacking phases. The Valiants average 2.70 total goals per match and boast 1.80 home PPG, though their away numbers drop sharply to 0.80 PPG. Defensive vulnerability on the road—2.20 conceded per away match—could be a factor here.

Historically, Orient edge this matchup with 6 wins in 13 meetings, and goals have been common, with 54% over 2.5. Therefore, this betting option should be considered, alongside Both Teams to Score (Orient BTTS 70% overall; Port Vale concede regularly away)

This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
