Newport County vs Leyton Orient Predictions

O’s to back up Bradford victory

Leyton Orient secured an excellent 2-0 victory over promotion favourites Bradford City at Brisbane Road last weekend and The O’s are fancied to follow-up when they make the trip to Wales to face Newport County on Saturday.

After a mid-table finish last term, Orient have made a promising start to the new campaign with just one defeat suffered from their first five starts, and they lifted themselves into the top six with that success over The Bantams.

Newport will be relatively pleased with their six points from a possible 12 considering their first four games have all been on the road, and they’ll hope to resume from where they left off last season at home after winning their final four matches at Rodney Parade.

Nonetheless, Orient are difficult to oppose here on the back of such a strong showing and it’s worth remembering that Saturday’s visitors won both league meetings between the pair in 2020/21. There’s enough juice in Orient’s odds to take some insurance via the draw no bet market, though we think the away side will clinch the points via a 1-2 score-line.
