Leyton Orient

WLLLLL 🔻

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Northampton Town in League One action, Leyton Orient will be aiming to make amends here.

Looking at their form, and Leyton Orient have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in all. Defensively, Leyton Orient just haven’t been too solid at all. That aside, it remains to be seen whether that trend shall be replicated in this match.

Coming into this clash, Leyton Orient are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Blackpool

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Blackpool manager Steve Bruce to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Andy Lyons (Cruciate ligament injury) will miss out.

ℹ️ Team News: Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens has a number of players out of action. Dan Agyei (unknown injury) and Sam Howes (unknown injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

🔮 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Leyton Orient will need to apply a lot of pressure to score against this Blackpool lineup who we reckon should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We therefore see a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for Blackpool at the end of the match.

Let’s see how this one goes.
