Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Brisbane Road will host Saturday’s football game between Leyton Orient and Sutton, the two teams who are sitting just above the playoffs berth ahead of Matchday 17. Leyton are undefeated in the previous six league fixtures, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure a top-seven finish at the end of the season. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Ireland international Aaron Drinan, who has been impressive in front of goal of late.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Colchester and Tranmere, while losing to Rochdale and Walsall. Sutton have been producing fine displays on the road of late, and they are surely capable of holding Leyton to a draw at Brisbane Road. The two teams have never met before in the League Two.
