Wigan vs Leyton Orient Prediction and Betting Tips 22 August 2026

Following a 3-2 loss to Cambridge United, Wigan Athletic will be aiming to record their first win of the season when they welcome Leyton Orient in round 2. The Latics suffered a narrow defeat in their opener despite producing 2.20 xG and 17 goal attempts. Wigan have been particularly strong at home, winning 60% of their last 10 matches and averaging 1.60 goals per game. There are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts.

Leyton Orient, meanwhile, also started the campaign with a defeat, losing 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday. Their recent form is a major concern, with just one victory in their last 10 matches and none in their previous five away games. The O’s have also scored only 0.33 goals per away game during that run. Ipswich loanee Somto Boniface is doubtful after picking up a knock against Wednesday.

As Leyton Orient are not regarded as good travellers, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Wigan to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 Goals (none of the 6 previous H2H meetings produced more than 2 goals).

This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
