Prediction: 2-2
Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient will look to retain top position in the standings when they face Harrogate on Matchday 18. The O’s suffered a 2-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon in their last league match, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Sulphurites on the road. All George Marsh, Nathan Broome, Alex Woodyard, and Jack Currie should miss out with injuries for the away team.
The hosts, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone in the League Two standings. Harrogate are on a four-match winless run, and seeing that they will go for a victory in Saturday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Luke Armstrong, who found the net in a 3-3 draw with Carlisle United, should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Mark Oxley):
Born in Sheffield, England, on the 2nd of June, 1990, Oxley's football journey started as a Rotherham youth product. The English International signed his first professional contract with the Millers in 2007 but failed to make a single appearance for the club during that season.
The following season, he signed for Hull City, who, in turn, sent him out on successive loans to clubs like Walsall, Grimbsy Town, Oldham Athletic, and Hibernian. The 6ft 3-inch goalkeeper's professional debut meanwhile, came on the 27th of February, 2010, playing for Grimbsy in a 2-0 away loss to Dagenham in League Two. Oxley's performance during his six-month loan period with Hibernian earned him a permanent deal. He signed a two-year contract starting with the club in July 2015. In his time at the Scottish outfit, he made 90 appearances and kept 35 clean sheets. Oxley then joined his current club Southend in July 2016 on an initial two-year deal.
He had a fantastic first season, winning both fans' player of the year and players' player of the year awards. As of August 2018, Oxley has signed a contract extension and also got given the captain's armband. On the International forefront, the 29-year-old is a former youth International having capped once for England at the under-18 level.
