Bitesize Prediction: Leyton Orient vs Sutton – 12/17/22

Competition: League 2

Market: Leyton Orient Victory

Odds: 19/20 @

Hoping to expand their buffer at the top of the League Two table on Saturday afternoon, Leyton Orient will host Sutton at Brisbane Road.

Starting with the hosts, despite having to settle for a bottom-half finish last season, Leyton Orient have continued on a remarkable purple smudge this time around. While Richie Wellens' side may have opened November with a brief wobble, the O's have come back in some style. Last seen on December 3 heading into a 3-0 home game against Bradford, the former Salford boss now finds his top-flight side seen as one of the main candidates for promotion. Opening this weekend's matches with a one-point buffer on the chasing pack, Orient have won each of their last three League Two outings. While the mood around Brisbane Road is at an all-time high as we we are getting closer to the New Year, Wellens' team have also won their last three home games by an aggregate score of 6-0.

As for the visitors, who managed to make a welcome return to winning ways last weekend by claiming a 1-0 win at home to relegation scrappers Colchester, Suton will be desperate to s build on this success. However, finding themselves almost sitting in League Two limbo, Matt Gray's side have won just two of their last nine clashes across all formats. With this form dating back to October 18, the Yellows will know that they will be facing a real task on Saturday afternoon. Likewise, earning a genuine reputation for his struggles on the road, it's worth noting that Sutton have recorded just one away win throughout the 2022/23 campaign. Suffering a 3-1 defeat when they traveled to Brisbane Road on September 20 for an EFL Trophy showdown, we back a similar result.

Bet: Leyton Orient 19/20 will beat Sutton in Saturday's Ligue 2 battle @
