Leyton Orient vs Cardiff Predictions

Cardiff are worth backing to beat Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road on Saturday.

League One leaders Cardiff have 16 wins, three draws and five defeats from their 24 games this season, while Leyton Orient are 20th in the table having won eight, drawn four and lost 12.

Cardiff kept up their recent winning trend with a 1-0 victory over Wigan at home last weekend, dominating possession with 81.7%, more than in any League One game they’ve played this season. Calum Chambers scored the only goal of the game on 24 minutes and the win makes it ten wins in the 12 matches in which Cardiff have been odds-on this season.

Cardiff are in excellent form away from home, having won eight of their last ten League One matches. They have lost just one of those games.

Backing Leyton Orient’s opponents during their current run of four defeats in five League One games would have resulted in a profit of 4.75 units.

The visitors are in form going forward. Cardiff have scored in 18 of their last 20 league games and it is 11 League One games since they last failed to find the net.

The hosts are enduring a rough spell. Four of Leyton Orient’s last five League One matches have ended in defeat, and they have won just one of their last six games.

The hosts have been vulnerable defensively. Leyton Orient have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six League One games and have not kept out the opposition in their last five home matches. They last kept a clean sheet against Burton Albion in November.

There have been under 2.5 goals in three of Cardiff’s last four League One games, and a 2-0 away win looks the best correct-score option.
