Leyton Orient vs Cambridge United Predictions

• Cambridge have only lost 2 of their last 7 matches against Leyton Orient.
• Cambridge have only lost 1 of their last 6 league games.
• Leyton Orient have dropped points in 4 of their last 6 league games.
• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 3 of Cambridge’s last 5 matches, and all three have seen the U’s keep a clean sheet.

Leyton Orient have only won four times at home this season

Leyton Orient drew 2-2 at home with Oldham last time out while Cambridge lost 2-1 at home to Carlisle and both teams will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend. The visitors head into Saturday’s clash as the clear form favourites with four wins, one draw, and one defeat from their last six matches and haven’t been beaten on the road in four matches.

We’ve backed Cambridge with a double chance bet this weekend as they have only lost two of their last five outings against Leyton Orient and one of their last six games in League Two, while the hosts have dropped points in four of their last six matches. Cambridge have also kept clean sheets in three of their last five matches, each of which saw under 2.5 goals scored, while Leyton Orient have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts.

The hosts have only won four of their eighteen home games in League Two this season while Cambridge have avoided defeat in eleven of their eighteen away games, which adds further weight to our double chance bet this weekend. Leyton Orient average 1.11 points per home game, only winning 22% of the matches played in front of their own fans, while Cambridge have avoided defeat in 61% of their away games.

Cambridge arrive with just one defeat from their last six matches

Leyton Orient concede an average of 1.61 goals per home game and Cambridge score an average of 0.89 goals per away game, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of the visitors this weekend. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 72% of Cambridge’s away games and both teams have scored in just 33%, which backs up our predictions for a narrow 1-0 away win on Saturday.

The hosts have only kept clean sheets in 17% of their away games while Cambridge have managed to stop their opponents from scoring in 33% of their away trips. Exactly 1-goal has been scored in 22% of Cxambriudge’s trips on the road and a majority of the visitors’ wins this season (9) have been obtained with a 1-goal margin, while Leyton Orient have lost by that very same margin on seven separate occasions.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Cambridge is the best way to go on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The visitors arrive as the form favourites and have a good recent record against the home side. Cambridge have outperformed Leyton Orient so far this season and have looked decent away from home, while the hosts don’t win many games in their own backyard but have drawn eight times which is why we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright Cambridge win.
