Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Cambridge United
Match Time & Date:

08:00 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Leyton Orient
Cambridge United and Leyton Orient go head to head at Abbey Stadium on day 20 of the new League Two campaign. Cambridge United aim to build on a 2-1 win over Colchester United and a triumph over Leyton could see them regain their place in the playoffs berth. The U’s suffered four defeats in the previous five league fixtures, but given Leyton’s anything but good form, the hosts are likely to grab something from the match.
The visiting team head into the game following back-to-back defeats to Morecambe and Crawley Town. Leyton suffered four defeats in the last five away games, and seeing that Cambridge United are desperate to return to winning ways, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. In their last meeting in the League Two Leyton recorded a 2-1 win over Cambridge, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
