Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Newport County
Match Time & Date:

10:00 AM
Prediction: 2-0
Leyton Orient
Sunday’s football game at Rodney Parade pits together Newport County and Leyton Orient, the two teams who are almost level on points in the League Two standings. Newport County suffered a 1-0 loss to Exeter City on Boxing Day, with the team extending their winless run in the league to eight games. The Exiles are eager to give fans something to cheer about ahead of the New Year Eve, and we are positive that they are going to fight tooth and nail against Leyton Orient.
The O’s, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Colchester United, with the team remaining in the danger zone in the League Two table. Leyton Orient experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the Boxing Day clash; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of matching the Exiles at Rodney Parade.

Thomas Lloyd King is a professional footballer who plays for Newport County as a goalkeeper. Born in Plymouth, England, on March 9, 1995, Tom King played for the likes of Manchester 62, Portsmouth, and Crystal Palace during his youth career.
