Reading - Leyton Orient predictions and free betting tips [27/01/2024]

On 27th January in League 1, the third-highest division in England, at "Select Car Leasing" stadium, Reading will take on Leyton Orient. 

Reading

The team has not been in League 1 for quite a while and finally, last season, they were relegated from the Championship, finishing 23rd in the league table.

The start of the season did not go as planned for the team. Due to financial problems, the club was docked 4 points, so currently, they are placed 21st. In the 23rd round, they drew with "Peterborough United" (2:2). After this, the lads drew yet another game with "Cheltenham" (2:2). In the following match, they achieved a victory over "Exeter City" with a score of (3:2). Though they faced a minimal defeat from "Wigan", in the last round, they unexpectedly triumphed over "Derby County" with a minimal score.

Leyton Orient

The club earned their long-awaited return to League 1 after 10 seasons. Last year, they secured the 1st place in the championship, demonstrating the second-best home game record in the tournament. Presently, they sit at the 10th position in the league table.

In the 23rd game of the season, they clinched a minimal victory against Charlton. After this, they had a goalless draw with Wycombe. The team then secured a win against Cambridge with a score of (2:0). In the next round, the lads won away against Portsmouth (3:0). Then, they managed to overcome Bolton with a minimal score in the last match.

Head-to-head

The last meeting between Reading and Leyton occurred on 7th October 2023. That encounter concluded with a victory for Orient with a score of (2:1).

Forecast for the match  Reading - Leyton Orient

It's hard to predict which team will emerge as victors. Reading is now on a streak of 3 home victories. Leyton has 3 consecutive wins, 2 of which were against the league leaders. Considering this, I suggest placing a bet on a draw, as it's unlikely that Reading would lose at home.

Total forecast

I think the teams would not demonstrate a high-scoring football, therefore I suggest betting on total under 2.5.
