Leyton Orient welcome high-flying Cambridge United to Brisbane Road on Saturday 31 October, kick-off 12.30pm (UK time), with the two clubs separated by seven points in the League One table.
Cambridge arrive in far better league form, but Orient have a strong recent record in this fixture. Anthony Eadson runs the rule over it and lands on two selections.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson assesses a Brisbane Road clash of contrasting form lines and settles on two selections.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 total corners | 8/11 (Betfred) | Cambridge United’s league games have been packed with corners, averaging 13.7 a match, with the U’s winning 8.5 a game themselves. Leyton Orient’s matches average 11.1, largely because they concede 7.2 a game, so the visitors’ strength runs straight into the hosts’ weakness. Orient have lost four of their six home games and have often been chasing the game at Brisbane Road, which should add to the count late on. Both sides’ averages sit above the line, and 8/11 with Betfred looks a solid starting point. |
| The draw | 13/5 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Cambridge United have not lost any of their six away games this season, but four of them have been draws, and their six draws overall are the joint-most in League One. They have also scored in every league game, so an Orient clean sheet looks unlikely. Leyton Orient, though, have beaten Cambridge four times in the last five league meetings. With form and history pulling in different directions, a draw at 13/5 with Betfair Sportsbook appeals. |

How Leyton Orient go into the game
Leyton Orient have slipped to 16th on 14 points and arrive on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion, their third loss in the last five. Form at home has been a worry all term.
Brisbane Road has not been kind this season, with two wins and four defeats from six home games and ten goals conceded there. Orient have fared better away, keeping it tighter on the road with only four conceded in six.
How Cambridge United go into the game
Cambridge United sit seventh on 21 points, seven clear of Saturday’s hosts, and come in unbeaten away from home this season with two wins and four draws on the road. They have also found the net in every league game so far.
A 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday last time out was their sixth stalemate of the campaign, and Cambridge have proved awkward to beat, losing only twice all season.
