Peterborough United vs Leyton Orient: Predictions, Lineups & Odds (17/1)

Peterborough United will need to find some form as they hope to avoid a relegation battle when they welcome Leyton Orient to London Road.

Our Three Predictions For Peterborough United vs Leyton Orient

- - - Prediction 1 – Both Teams To Score – 4/7

- - - Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored- 4/6

- - - Prediction 3 – Leyton Orient To Win – 5/4

First Prediction For Peterborough United vs Leyton Orient – Both Teams To Score – 4/7

The game is best characterised by the home side, they have an extremely potent attack at their disposal but this season have been volatile at the back and are leading the table in goals conceded. They have averaged conceding 1.92 goals per game. They face a Leyton Orient side that have wrecked sides around Posh’s position in the league table, with a 3-0 win over Crawley Town, 2-0 win against Cambridge United, alongside their destruction of playoff hopefuls Barnsley, winning at Oakwell 4-0.

Second Prediction For Peterborough United vs Leyton Orient – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 4/6

With both attacks being high-scorers, this game should be filled with goals. Whilst they are missing some of their best players like Kwame Poku, Ricky-Jade Jones will be a big threat and this game could see target man Bradley Ihionvien get another chance at a start. For The O’s, Charlie Kelman and Jamie Donley have been big contributors across their resurgence up the table.

Third Prediction For Peterborough United vs Leyton Orient – Leyton Orient To Win – 5/4

Leyton Orient are on a brilliant run right now, and are unbeaten in their past 11 matches. Their last loss came in late November, falling at Brisbane Road to Huddersfield Town, another team that has put their early-season woes behind them. They face a Peterborough United time in dire form, losing four of their last five league games and their solitary point coming against fellow relegation-threatened Burton Albion. The O’s should handily win this if they can shut down what remains of Peterborough’s attack.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

These two teams are in very contrasting form right now, with Leyton Orient top of the form table in the last five games, whilst Peterborough sit in 22nd, only ahead of Crawley Town and Cambridge United. Darren Ferguson’s side have been in freefall over the past few months in a season which has fallen well short of their expectations. They did get some respite in their EFL Trophy campaign, beating Walsall to set up a quarter-final match against one of the three remaining Southern section clubs. In League action, their only point in their last five came against Burton Albion.

Leyton Orient are the in-form team in League One and arguably in the entirety of the EFL right now. They are on an 11-match unbeaten run, and thanks to a penalty victory over Derby County have set up a dream FA Cup Fourth Round tie to Premier League giants Manchester City at Brisbane Road. In the third tier, they have handily dispatched many of the bottom-of-the-table clubs, beating Crawley, Cambridge, Bristol Rovers and Shrewsbury Town.

The reverse fixture in East London ended in a 2-2 draw in September. Peterborough have been the more dominant side as of late, with four wins and two draws since Leyton Orient last tasted victory back in 2014. Since 2011, Peterborough have won 5 games, with four Orient wins and four draws.
