Leyton Orient vs Cheltenham Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

In a key battle at the foot of League Two, we are backing both teams at 4/5 with bet365 to score when Leyton Orient host Cheltenham, as both sides fight to retain their place in the Football League. For our correct score tip we think that Orient will be the ones to receive a major boost to their survival hopes and we are backing a 2-1 home win at 11/1 with the same site.

There’s now a three point cushion separating Leyton Orient from the relative safety of 22nd position so they will know that they will have to start turning their form around urgently if they are going to save themselves from the drop to the National League. Under new boss Danny Webb there has at least been some signs of fight and although they have still been shipping plenty of goals at the wrong end, they have also scored in six of their last eight games.

Visiting Brisbane Road is a Cheltenham side who will also know the importance of three points on Saturday. Defeat at the weekend will bring Orient level on points with the Robins and would put the club in real danger of losing their Football League status just one season after winning it back. Like their hosts, both teams scoring is far from a rare thing in Cheltenham games and 67% of their away games have finished up this way. They are also in some decent form at the minute and impressive wins over Luton and Yeovil in recent weeks has seen them claim 11 points from their previous eight games.
