Salford City vs Leyton Orient Predictions

• Salford have lost only once in 22 home League Two matches this season.
• Leyton Orient have lost their last three League Two games and conceded nine goals in the process.
• Salford have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five League Two games.

Salford no longer lack direction

Salford will secure a play-off place if they win at home to Leyton Orient and Forest Green and Exeter fail to win.

The Ammies have undergone a big change in approach since Gary Bowyer took charge in late March and they are now much more direct than under his predecessor Richie Wellens.

Wellens’ way, although pretty, wasn’t getting the results Salford’s wealthy backers demanded and Bowyer’s brand looks to be more effective with his team getting the ball to the front men quickly and playing for set pieces.

Results are now coming for Salford, albeit probably too late for them to sneak into the playoffs.

They are an obvious pick to take the points against Orient, whose lingering playoff hopes went west during a three-match losing streak.
