Leyton Orient vs Shrewsbury Predictions

Orient to pile the misery on Shrews

Back Leyton Orient to continue their dominance over Shrewsbury when the teams meet at Brisbane Road on Saturday. 

Leyton Orient have come out on top in six of the last seven meetings with Shrewsbury, while the visitors have been poor on the road this season, with just one win in 11 games.

Richie Wellens’ Orient side are unbeaten in their last six home matches and sit eighth in League One, 14 places and 17 points above Shrewsbury. 

Leyton Orient have won ten and lost nine of their 23 games this season, while Shrewsbury are 22nd with four wins, five draws and 14 defeats.

Shrewsbury’s 1-1 draw with Blackpool on Wednesday was another indication of their struggles away from home. They had just 26.5 per cent possession in the game and have now gone 11 games on the road this season with just one win.

Leyton Orient are in excellent form, having won six of their last seven League One matches. The hosts have been solid at the back, having kept seven clean sheets in their last nine League One home games and not conceding a goal in eight of their last ten matches overall.

Leyton Orient have been winners in five of their last seven League One home games and go into this match on the back of two straight successes at Brisbane Road.

Expect them to get the home hat-trick, but Shrewsbury have gone down by a single goal six times in League One this season, so a 2-1 win for Leyton Orient is the correct-score pick.
