Barnsley vs Leyton Orient Predictions

Barnsley’s firepower should blow past brittle Orient

Barnsley look the best bet when they host Leyton Orient on Saturday. The hosts have been impressive in front of goal at Oakwell this season, scoring 15 goals in seven League One games.

This is a mid-table clash, with Barnsley tenth in League One and Leyton Orient 13th. The hosts have won seven of their 15 games, while Leyton Orient have seven wins from their 18 matches.

The visitors need to turn things around – Leyton Orient have lost five of their last seven League One away games.

It would be no surprise to see Barnsley score, having netted three or more goals in five of their 15 League One games this season. They have also averaged 1.5 goals a game in their eight matches against bottom-half teams.

The hosts are in form right now – Barnsley have lost just one of their last six League One games.

Leyton Orient have been disappointing defensively away from home this season, conceding 20 goals in nine League One games – an average of 2.22 goals per game. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six.

A 2-0 win for Barnsley looks a decent correct-score option.
