Colchester United vs Leyton Orient Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

It’s a meeting of the two most out of form teams in League Two when Colchester host Leyton Orient this weekend and we think that the best bet is for both teams to score which is available at 8/13 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that will just have enough to claim the victory and are backing them to return to London with a 2-1 victory, available at 11/1 with the same site.

It’s been a season to forget so far for both these sides, both are seen as some of the bigger names in the division and both were expected to be fighting for a promotion place. In the last eight league games each side has managed to claim just four points so their decline doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon.

We like the look of both teams scoring as, even though each side has a modest offensive record the majority of their matches ends this way. Both teams have scored in 71% of Colchester’s home games this season and 86% of Leyton Orient’s away matches.

It will be interesting to see how Orient bounce back after they lost heavily in the FA Cup to Sheffield United and also suffered defeat to a Brighton Academy side in the Checkatrade Trophy. Those defeats will no doubt have dented any confidence new boss Alberto Cavasin had built up following his appointment last month.
