Leyton Orient vs Salford City Predictions

• None of Leyton Orient’s last eight matches have included three or more goals
• Salford’s 15 away matches are averaging less than three goals per 90 minutes
• Gary Bowyer’s side have only lost one of their last four on their travels

Leyton Orient heading for trouble?

Turn back the clock a few months and Leyton Orient were flying high in League Two, but they are now without a win in nine games and are finding goals a real problem.

The O’s have failed to score in seven of their last eight fixtures, with none of those games containing three or more goals, while matches at Brisbane Road have provided just 33 strikes in 14 matches.

The pressure is very much on Kenny Jackett, especially as his side have not scored in their last three on home soil, where they are also without a win in four.

Salford keeping things tight

Salford are just six points off the top seven after a 0-0 draw with Sutton on Tuesday night, their third clean sheet in their last four matches on the road.

Gary Bowyer’s side have struggled to put a run of wins together of late, but they do stick in games, with only four of their last 22 games at all venues including three or more goals.

Indeed, in their last ten on their travels, they have conceded two or more goals just twice, something that does not bode well for a misfiring Leyton Orient attack.

Recent history points to there being fewer than three goals in this game, so that is my initial selection, and I think the visitors could nick the points, predicting a 1-0 away win as a correct score.
