Leyton Orient vs Plymouth Argyle puts a mid-table side up against a top-four outfit in League One, and the visitors arrive as the better team with the price to match.
Orient sit 11th in the table. Alex Gilbert's late winner against Stevenage ended a three-game losing streak, and Charlie Wellens is expected back in the starting XI.
Plymouth sit fourth, though last weekend's narrow home defeat to Burton Albion stung. Away from home they have been stubborn, losing just once in their previous 10 League One away matches.
Plymouth have won three of the previous meetings between the clubs to Orient's two. A sold-out away end of more than 1,300 will be at the BetWright Stadium demanding a response.
Leyton Orient vs Plymouth Argyle Form
Orient have won just 2 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, which explains the mid-table slot. Gilbert's winner over Stevenage steadied the ship, and Jaze Kabia is the man carrying the attack, finding the net three times across his previous four outings in the league. Shooting from distance remains their main weapon.
The Burton defeat ended a four-game winning run in all competitions, yet Plymouth still top the League One form table. Aribim Pepple leads the line with real menace, on the scoresheet in three of his last four league outings, while Ronan Curtis and Oliver Irow supply the width.

Leyton Orient vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Leyton Orient 1-2 Plymouth Argyle. Plymouth are the stronger, more in-form side, and an away win at 5/4 with Bet365 reflects that. Orient carry enough threat through Kabia to score, but Plymouth's set-piece power against a home side who struggle to defend dead balls can be the difference.
Best Bets
Tyreeq Bakinson in the Anytime Goalscorer market. Bakinson offers strong value for a Plymouth side pushed on by their engine room, getting forward regularly from midfield as one of the favourites' leading threats from deep.
Joseph Olowu in the To Score Or Assist market. A centre-back in this market looks odd until you factor in Orient's threat from attacking set pieces, an area where Olowu is well placed to make a nuisance of himself in a game we expect both sides to find the net.
Leyton Orient vs Plymouth Argyle Bet Builder
Our Leyton Orient vs Plymouth Argyle bet builder tips combine three legs: a Plymouth win, Jaze Kabia to score anytime and both teams to score.
Plymouth to win at 5/4 with Bet365 is the backbone. They sit fourth, top the League One form table and are dangerous at set pieces.
Kabia remains Orient's most direct route to goal, having struck three times in his last four appearances in the division, and looks the obvious man to grab their consolation or more.
Both teams to score at 8/13 with Bet365 completes the build. It fits our projected scoreline, with Orient clinical in front of goal and Plymouth weak at defending counter attacks.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/1 and is as short as 7/1 elsewhere.

Leyton Orient vs Plymouth Argyle Talking Points
Tom Cleverley called his squad a "wounded animal" after the Burton defeat, and wants his players to be the "catalyst" for intensity from the first whistle. That suits a Plymouth side who like to control the game in the opposition's half and take plenty of shots, which is why this fixture's betting odds lean their way. The flashpoint is dead balls: attacking set pieces are Plymouth's top-rated strength, and defending them is one of Orient's soft spots. Orient's best reply is to do what they do best, shoot from range and test Michael Cooper's replacement early, and hope a messy afternoon breaks their way.
