Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Leyton Orient
Newport County will be looking to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Port Vale when they take on Leyton Orient in the League Two round 37. The Exiles were anything but impressive in the midweek clash, with the team taking no more than one shot on target. Newport County aim to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, and, no doubt, Saturday’s football match could be the turning point for the home team.
You should know that Newport are after their tenth home win of the season. The Lilywhites, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-match winless run in the League Two. Leyton are stuck in the middle of the standings, and seeing that they have slim chances of booking their place in the playoffs, we are tempted to put our money on Michael Flynn’s troops.
