Forest Green Rovers vs Leyton Orient Predictions

• Forest Green have not kept a clean sheet in their last seven games
• Both teams have scored in two Leyton Orient’s last three fixtures
• In three of Forest Green’s last four matches, both teams have netted

Can Forest Green halt the slide?

Forest Green remain eight points clear at the top of League Two, but that is more down to the failings of their close rivals, given they are now six games without a win.

Rob Edwards’ side are leaking goals at an alarming rate, failing to keep a clean sheet in seven games, including three successive matches at the New Lawn.

They are expected to bounce back in this one, but recent defeats to Bradford and Walsall temper the enthusiasm on backing Rovers to win.

Orient desperate for points

Ritchie Wellens secured a point in his first game in charge at the weekend as Leyton Orient drew 0-0 at Hartlepool, but they are now 15 games without a win in all competitions.

Their goal scoring problems appear to have subsided, as the Os have netted twice in a pair of 2-2 draws with Colchester and Stevenage in recent weeks.

They still sit five points above the relegation zone, and playing an out of form side like Forest Green provides them with an opportunity to extend that advantage.

It really is tough to call either team winning this, but I predict both teams will score, selecting 1-1 as a correct score prediction.
