Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Everton U21 in the EFL Trophy, Stockport County will be aiming to stay in the playoffs berth when they face Leyton Orient on Matchday 7. The Hatters made a promising start to the season, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure Championship promotion. Both Will Collar and Callum Camps return to the starting XI, while Ireland defender Tayo Adaramola remains on the sidelines with injury.
The O’s, on the other hand, failed to shock Brentford in the EFL Cup last 32. As Leyton have been struggling at the back of late, we do not believe that they are capable of upsetting the promotion-chasing hosts at Edgeley Park. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Stockport County outplayed Leyton Orient 3-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. Defender Daniel Happe is injured for the visiting team.
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.
