Back the O's to get among the goals in Saturday's home clash with Cheltenham.
Leyton Orient v Cheltenham - Saturday 15:00
There’s going to be plenty of twists and turns in the League Two relegation battle between now and the end of the season, so don’t ever allow yourselves to be swayed too much by the most recent set of results. Last weekend, Cheltenham were buzzing after beating Yeovil, whereas Leyton Orient were deflated after losing their crucial six-pointer with Notts County.
However, there’s no substance for the Londoners to be chalked up as outsiders at home against Gary Johnson’s men here. Whether your take your cues from the league table, the formbook or shot data, there’s barely a hair’s breadth between them and yet the O’s possess the greater potential potential for transformation under new boss Danny Webb. So back the home win at 23/10.
The former Southend forward has been a breath of fresh air since replacing Andy Edwards at the Brisbane Road helm last month, infusing his troops with renewed zest and a never-say-die spirit that has yet to fully reap its rewards. Opposition analysis has gone out of the window, the focus now is purely on what they do and mostly what happens with the ball rather than without it.
The O’s snatched a point late on at Yeovil a fortnight ago, then came from 2-1 down to win 3-2 away at Plymouth a few days later and fought back from 2-0 down against the Magpies only to concede in stoppage time. Stick a point on over 2.5 home team goals at 15/2 and split another between the Orient 3-0 and Orient 4-0 correct scores at 45/1 and 150/1 respectively.
