Prediction: 1-1
Leyton Orient
Globe Arena will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Morecambe and Leyton Orient. Morecambe quickly bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Newport, with the team beating Harrogate thanks to Wildig’s goal, and, no doubt, they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Leyton Orient. The Shrimps produce much better showings at home than on the travels, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their third consecutive win at Globe Arena.
Leyton aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Newport where Danny Johnson scored his 11th goal of the season, but beating Morecambe on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. There have been under 2.5 goals in four of their previous five meetings in the English fourth tier. Defender Stephen Hendrie is back from suspension for the hosts.
