Leyton Orient vs Oldham Predictions

• Leyton Orient have struggled for consistency, winning two of their last five games.
• Oldham have a similar record, picking up seven points from a possible fifteen.
• Leyton Orient have scored 43 goals so far this season, an average of 1.26 goals per game.
• Oldham have scored 37 times, averaging 1.08 goals per match.

Will Orient be able to push on towards the top half?

Leyton Orient have had a decent first season back in league football, currently sitting in 17th place but with no real relegation worries. The side have won twice in their past five games, claiming seven points along the way. Losses against promotion chasing Crewe and Cheltenham in recent weeks have been disappointing but understandable.

Orient have scored 43 times this season, a good amount and more than the majority of sides around them but they have conceded too many to really push on towards the playoffs. They have shipped 52 goals so far, an average of 1.52 goals per game, a figure that they need to reduce for the rest of this season and into the next if they want to take another step forward.

Can Oldham find a win and leapfrog their opponents this weekend?

Oldham have had a very similar season to Leyton Orient, picking up two points less and sitting at the lower end of the midtable. Their recent form is identical too with two wins and one draw coming within their last five games as both clubs begin to pull away from the teams threatened by relegation.

The Latics have scored 37 goals this season, with the side struggling to find the net with enough regularity but they’ve conceded 52 goals, again the same amount as their opponents this weekend. Inconsistency has been the biggest issue for the side this season and a couple of good results in a row would be a big positive for the team.

Can anything separate these two sides?

There isn’t a lot to pick between these two teams with their records both over the season and in recent weeks being very similar. They’ve also scored a similar amount of goals and conceded the exact same amount with the two teams being incredibly equal across the board. We think that continues this weekend and are backing this game to end in a draw.

With our prediction of a draw coming into this scoreline prediction we are also pretty confident that there won’t be a host of goals between these two this weekend. We’re backing this game to finish 1-1 in a very equal match.
