Prediction: 2-1
Leyton Orient
Oxford United will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to seven games when they take on Leyton Orient in the League One round 35. The Yellows are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are seen as slim favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Both Kyle Edwards and Marcus Browne continue to miss out with injuries, while Elliott Moore remains doubtful and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The O’s, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Burton Albion, with the team dropping to 9th place in the standings. As Oxford United have been scoring goals for fun at their Kassam Stadium of late, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Oxfordshire, but defender Thomas James should sneak into the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Elliott Moore):
Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.
The 196-cm tall defender is a product of Leicester City football school, joining the club at the age of 6, but he did not enjoy a first-team football with the Foxes. He made his first appearances for Leicester City senior team on July 19, 2017 against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a couple of seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore returned to England in the summer of 2019, signing a contract with League One side Oxford United.
Moore made his League One debut against Sunderland on August 3, 2019. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Stadium of Light in the opening match of the season, with Elliott Moore coming from the bench in the dying minutes of the game.
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.
