Leyton Orient

Reading

Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Leyton Orient versus Reading has all the hallmarks of a game with goals at both ends in League One. Orient may be out of form, but they remain dangerous going forward and are one of the division’s higher scorers. Defensive issues are the problem, with 42 goals conceded and no clean sheet in six home games. Reading arrive in strong form and have scored in 21 of their last 22 league matches, making BTTS a solid play.

Leyton Orient 2-1

Reason for tip

A 2-1 home win is the standout correct-score option. Leyton Orient’s games are regularly open, with three or more goals landing in 15 of their 25 league matches this season, and five of their eight wins have been by a single-goal margin. Reading are scoring consistently but have not kept a clean sheet in three straight away games, which opens the door for the hosts. Orient’s attacking output at Brisbane Road gives them a chance to edge a tight, goal-filled contest.

Goals Likely at Brisbane Road as Both Sides Backed to Score

Back both teams to get on the scoresheet in Saturday’s League One clash between Leyton Orient and Reading at Brisbane Road. Reading have scored in five games in a row, including a 4-1 win over Plymouth last month.

Reading are ninth in League One, 11 places above Leyton Orient, with six points separating the two sides. Reading have nine wins, eight draws and seven losses from their 24 games this season, while Leyton Orient have won eight, drawn five and lost 12.

Leyton Orient are struggling for form right now, with just one win in their last seven League One games. In contrast, Reading have won four of their last five matches and come into this on the back of two victories.

Leyton Orient ended a run of three straight defeats last weekend with a 1-1 draw with Cardiff, in a game that kept up the recent trend of matches with both teams scoring. Leyton Orient had been 27/10 outsiders to win the game.

No team has conceded more goals in League One this season than Leyton Orient’s 42, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six home games. Reading are also on a run of three away days without shutting out the opposition.

Just three League One sides have scored more goals than the 36 Leyton Orient have scored this season, while Reading have found the net in 21 of their last 22 league games.

For their part, Leyton Orient have seen both teams score in eight of their last ten League One home games, with goals for both sides in 15 of their 25 league games this season. Reading’s 11 away games have also produced goals at both ends on eight occasions.

There have been three goals or more in 15 of Leyton Orient’s 25 League One matches this season and, with five of their eight victories coming by a one-goal margin, a 2-1 home win is the correct-score pick.
