Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Brisbane Road will host Saturday’s League Two game between Leyton Orient and Stevenage. The O’s do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous six league fixtures. Leyton head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Colchester where they showed signs of improvement, and we believe that the time has come for Leyton Orient to get back on course.
Cyprus international Ruel Sotiriou, who found the net in the midweek clash, will be the man to watch in the home team. The Boro, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back defeats to Bristol Rovers and Port Vale. Stevenage have been slipping down the standings week by week, and, as a result, their League Two status is now in great danger. Since both sides are desperate to return to winning ways, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score.
Highlighted Player (Craig Clay):
After spending his youth career at Chesterfield, Craig Clay continued wearing the Spireites jersey at senior level. The English midfielder made 27 appearances for Chesterfield in the league before signing a deal with York City in the 2013/2014 season.
It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Barrow and Alfreton Town on loan as well before signing the deal with the Minstermen. Born in Nottingham, England on May 5, 1992, Craig Clay was part of Halifax Town, Worksop Town, Grimsby Town, and Motherwell squad as well in the past. Nowadays, the 180-cm tall midfielder plays for Leyton Orient in the League Two, the English fourth tier.
He made his League Two debut with the O’s on August 3, 2019, in a 1-0 win over Cheltenham Town. Craig Clay has one cap with the England C national team as he represented the Three Lions in a 2-0 win over the Ukraine U20 team on March 22, 2016.
Highlighted Team (Stevenage):
Based in Hertfordshire, England, Stevenage Borough are a professional club that compete in the League Two. The Boro are well known for their red and white home hit, while dark blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Stevenage play their home games at Broadhall Way, the stadium which can hold up to 6,722 spectators and they were founded in 1976.
The Boro have won FA Trophy on two occasions (2006/07, 2008/09), with the team clinching the Herts Senior Cup title in the 2008/09 season thanks to a 2-1 win over Cheshunt. Luton are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
In 2015 fighting broke out between rival fans near to the end of the clash at the Lamex. It has to be noted that Stevenage Borough were founded in 1976 after the bankruptcy of Stevenage Athletic.
