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

The writing looks like it’s on the wall for Leyton Orient and their immediate future in the Football League and with play-off chasing Luton Town the hosts on Friday we are backing another nail to be put in their coffin. Given that Luton are as short as 1/5 for the win and a two goal handicap is needed before you get any value, we have to find our tip from another source. We feel that backing Luton to win both halves is the way to go with this one and this is available at 5/4 with bet365. For our correct score tip we cannot see anything other than a comfortable home win and we are tipping Luton to grab a 3-0 victory, which is priced at 5/4 with the same site.

It’s been an interesting end to the season for the Hatters and even though they come into this match on the back of two wins in a row, both have been tight and nervy 1-0 victories. Luton have a six point gap over eighth place with just five games of the regular season remaining and three points on Friday will all but guarantee their place in the play-offs. The form of talisman Danny Hylton will be key for the Hatters if they are to win the end of season shoot out, so the striker will no doubt see this match as an opportunity to get in among the goals, he is 2/1 to be the first scorer.

Depending on results elsewhere, defeat at the weekend could see Leyton Orient’s fate sealed and relegation confirmed. It’s all quite the fall from grace for the debt ridden club as talks at the start of the season were ones of promotion and maybe even the title. Instead Orient have been plagued by off the field wranglings and have never looked capable of finding a way out of the mess they find themselves in on the pitch. They have the worst defence in the division and that has only worsened of late, they have conceded 20 in their last six league games.
