Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crewe Alexandra welcome Leyton Orient to their Alexandra Stadium in the League Two round 21. Following back-to-back wins over Colchester and Swindon, the Railwaymen suffered a 2-1 loss to Newport in their last league match, with the team dropping to 15th place in the standings. Courtney Baker-Richardson remains on the sidelines with injury for the home side.
The O’s, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion with 48 points on their account. The league leaders are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and given their fine away record (7-2-1), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be USA international Charlie Kelman, who found the net in a 3-0 win over Bradford City at the weekend.
