Leyton Orient vs Morecambe Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

We are backing Morecambe to claim at least a point when they travel to Leyton Orient this weekend and to back them on the ‘double chance’ is available at a very healthy 4/5 with bet365. For our correct score tip we are backing a tight contest with nothing to separate the sides and a 1-1 draw is available at 5/1 with the same site.

The head to head record looks to have dictated the way this match has been priced, with the bookies clearly fancying Leyton Orient to extend their perfect record over the visitors with another three points on Saturday. We’ve looked a bit closer at those results though and we feel that, even though Orient have ultimately come out on top, there has never been a winning margin greater than one goal.

With the O’s coming into this match on the back of three defeats in a row, there seems to be no better time for Morecambe to break their duck against their hosts. Jim Bentley’s side are in okay form at the moment and sit almost exactly in the middle of the form table.

They will also be buoyed by the home record of Leyton Orient as their hosts have managed just 10 points from their 14 games so far this season, a record which is the fourth worst in League Two. Orient have lost 10 of their home matches in the league this season, a figure which represents a massive 71% of all their league games at Brisbane Road.
