Northampton Town

LDWWDL ⚖

Northampton Town will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 4-0 League One loss in their previous game against Lincoln City.

Ryan Oné (11'), Jack Moylan (51'), Ivan Varfolomieiev (72') and Rob Street (75') scored for Lincoln City.

It’s not been often in recent games that Northampton Town have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Northampton Town have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 8 goals during that time. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Heading into this contest, Northampton Town are unbeaten in the league by Leyton Orient in their previous 3 games.

Leyton Orient

WLLLDL

Since a loss in their previous game against Plymouth Argyle in League One competition, Leyton Orient and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The only scorer from Leyton Orient was Ollie O'Neill (45'). Aribim Pepple (45'), Ronan Curtis (52') and Mathias Ross (70') scored for Plymouth Argyle.

The stats don’t lie, and Leyton Orient have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals in total. Defensively, Leyton Orient have not been doing too well.

Looking at their past form shows that Leyton Orient:

• have not registered a win against Northampton Town in away games against them for the last 4 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 6 league matches.

📋 Team News: Leyton Orient

Due to a mostly full-strength group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens to be concerned with. Will Dennis (Ankle injury) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Leyton Orient and Northampton Town could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. That is why we are leaning toward a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline when the full-time whistle blows.
