Venue (City, Stadium) | Kenilworth Road |
A confident Luton side host Leyton Orient at Kenilworth Road in English League One, with the hosts firm favourites in the Luton vs Leyton Orient betting odds.
Luton, under Jack Wilshere, responded to a heavy defeat by beating Stockport County 2-0 in midweek, ending a three-match winless run and reminding everyone of their firepower in front of goal.
Leyton Orient arrive full of belief after thumping Bromley 5-0 on the road, a ruthless away display from Richie Wellens' side that followed a home defeat to Barnsley.
Luton are undefeated in their last 8 matches against Leyton Orient in all competitions, so history sits firmly with the hosts as these two meet again.
Luton vs Leyton Orient Form
Luton are flying at this level, undefeated in 14 of their last 15 matches in League One and scoring at least twice in each of their last 11. That 2-0 win at Stockport County steadied the ship after a rough outing, and Nahki Wells is the man in form, having found the net in all three of his most recent League One appearances.
Leyton Orient blow hot and cold but pack a punch going forward, as the 5-0 hammering of Bromley proved after they were beaten at home by Barnsley. Yusuf Akhamrich has been busy in attack, registering at least one shot on target in each of his last four League One outings and netting in two of his last three.

Yusuf Akhamrich completes the four-fold for the visitors, with strikes recorded across two of his last three and shots on target in each of his last four outings in League One.

Luton vs Leyton Orient Talking Points
This is a fixture about which side handles the swings better. Luton bounced back from a heavy loss with real character, and Jack Wilshere has been preaching the value of staying level through the early-season ups and downs. Orient, meanwhile, showed exactly what they are capable of when they hammered Bromley 5-0 on the road, Richie Wellens delighted with their attacking intensity. The question is whether that ruthless away form travels to a Luton team who simply keep scoring, undefeated in 14 of their last 15 League One matches and unbeaten against these visitors across their last eight meetings in all competitions.
