Leyton Orient vs Newport County Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 669

Leyton Orient will be looking to end their three-game winless run when they welcome Newport County to the English capital on Tuesday.

The hosts finished the weekend sitted at the 13th position after playing a goalless draw with Port Vale on Saturday.

As a results of the satlement, The O’s remaind nine points adrift of the playoffs, although they have a couple of games in hand over Mansfield Town who sit 7th in the table.

Despite losing just five league games this season, Kenny Jackett’s side’s inabilty to convert draws into victories leaves their playoff homes diminishing.

Jackett has witnessed 11 of his team’s league matches end in a draw, and what will also be of concern is that his side are now winless in their last three league outings.

Leyton are currently experiencing a poor run of form, however, they have lost just two league home matches this season and keeping seven clean sheets in their 12 League Two matches, they will be hopeful of recording a positive result on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, unlike their hosts, Newport County enter the midweek contest in an impressive form after recording back-to-back victories.

Off the back of a comfortable 4-0 victory against Harrogate Town in their previous match, the Exiles registered another clean sheet on Saturday with a 1-0 away victory over Scumthorpe United.

With neither side able to find an opener in the first half, a 56th minute goal from Courtney Baker-Richardson proved enough to guide the visitors to a narrow victory.

Another away travel awaits Newport County on Tuesday, and they head into the encounter in the fifth spot, just three points adrift of the automatic promotion places.

Having lost just once in their eight league away matches, James Rowberry’s side will believe that they can return to Wales with at least a point.

Theo Archibald has missed out the last three games but he could return to the squad. Dan Moss made his debut on Saturday and is set to retain his place.

Lewis Collins missed out at the weekend and remains a doubt for Tuesday’s match, while Timmy Abraham is also doubtful.

However, Matty Dolan and Robbie Willmott are available after returning to the squad, and could come into the starting XI in the midweek contest after featuring among substitutes against Scunthorpe.

Prediction and Odds

Leyton Orient enter this contest having avoided defeat in six of their last seven competitive meetings with Newport County.

Newport have been fairing well in the league this season, and we expect them to have enough quality to resist defeat here, hence the game ending in a draw or home win.
