Leyton Orient vs Manchester City Predictions

• All of Manchester City’s last eight games have featured at least four goals
• City have won 16 of their last 18 FA Cup matches
• Leyton Orient have won just one of their last seven FA Cup matches inside 90 minutes

Confident Orient will be eyeing a shock

A strong run of form around Christmas has put Leyton Orient in the thick of the battle for a League One playoff place and they will fancy their chances of taking advantage of any hangover Manchester City may be suffering from their 5-1 thumping at Arsenal on Sunday.

It was the most recent setback of what has been a stormy season for the Citizens, but Orient will be well-advised not to take the task lightly as Pep Guardiola’s side showed no mercy in thumping Salford 8-0 in the last round.

However, that is one of just three clean sheets City have kept in their last 11 games and they have conceded at least twice in 11 of their last 13 road outings.

City’s class should eventually tell

Emulating that statistics may be beyond the O’s, especially as they have netted just 19 goals in their 15 home league matches this season, but they could hit the target so it is worth chancing that City win the match with both teams scoring.

It seems likely the Premier League champions’ class will tell in the end as Orient should expect to do a lot of ball-chasing, so correct-score betting enthusiasts are pointed towards a 4-1 away win.
