Prediction: 2-1
Leyton Orient
Following a 1-1 draw with Harrogate, Stevenage will look to return to winning ways when they take on Leyton Orient in the League One derby. The Boro aim to melt the Leyton’s advantage to only two points, and we are positive that the hosts will fight tooth and nail against the O’s. Steve Evans is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Harrogate as the Scottish tactician has no fresh injury worries.
The league leaders, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into goals in a goalless draw with Barrow, and seeing that important defender Thomas James is banned for Saturday’s clash, we predict that Stevenage are going to win the derby. You should bear in mind, though, that the two teams have shared the spoils in each of their last four meetings in the English fourth tier.
