Stockport vs Leyton Orient Predictions

Stockport should be backed to beat Leyton Orient at home in League One on Saturday. The visitors have lost on their last five away games and could be heading for more problems here.

Stockport are fourth in League One, 15 places and 20 points above Leyton Orient, with 15 wins from their 29 games this season. The visitors have won nine times.

Stockport maintained their winning habit last weekend, justifying their odds-on price of 5/6 to win the game with a 2-1 victory over Plymouth. They dominated possession with 67.9% and have now won 11 of the 19 games in which they’ve scored first this season.

It would be no surprise to see Stockport score. They have found the net in their last five league games, scoring at least twice in three of those. They include a 3-2 win over Rotherham last month.

Stockport have won two in a row in League One and have lost just one of their last eight matches. They have also been strong at home, winning their last four games on their own patch.

Backing Leyton Orient’s opponents during their current run of six defeats in eight League One games would have resulted in a profit of 6.48 units.

The visitors are in a rut. Leyton Orient have gone three League One games without recording a victory and six of their last eight matches have ended in defeat.

They lack killer instinct in front of goal. Leyton Orient have lost three of their last four League One away games without scoring.

No team has shipped more goals in League One this season than the 49 Leyton Orient have conceded, and they have been disappointing defensively away from home, conceding 32 goals in 14 road games – an average of 2.29 goals per game.

A 2-0 home win for Stockport looks the best correct-score bet. Leyton Orient have lost 10 of their last 12 League One away games.
