Leyton Orient - Port Vale predictions and free betting tips [12/03/2024]

Today in League 1, England's third-tier league, Leyton Orient is set to face Port Vale at the Brisbane Road Stadium.

Leyton Orient

After 10 seasons, the team has finally earned their much-anticipated return to League 1. Last year, they claimed the top spot in the championship and showed the second-best home-match performance in the tournament. They are currently holding the 10th place in the league table.

On the 33rd match of the season, the team lost to Burton Albion with a score of 1:2. However, they bounced back, beating Oxford 2:1. The next game saw them overcome Blackpool with a minimal score. However, they faced a minor defeat against Bristol Rovers, and in the latest round, Leyton endured a loss against Wigan (0:1).

Port Vale

I would label this team as a "yo-yo squad". They seldom stick around in the same league for long, constantly switching between League 2 and League 1. Last year saw them linger in the third division, landing in the 18th spot. The lads have been performing moderately this season, ending up in the 23rd place with 32 points to their credit.

In the 31st game, they suffered a 0:2 defeat against Reading. The team also lost to Lincoln with the same score. They then had a draw with Fleetwood (2:2), after which they surrendered to Derby (0:3). In their most recent match, Vale endured a home defeat against Shrewsbury (1:2).

Head to Head

The last face-off between Leyton and Port Vale occurred on February 6, 2023. That meeting ended with a narrow victory for Orient.

Prediction

In the upcoming duel, I'd like to single out the host team as a potential favourite. Despite not appearing very impressive in recent games, Leyton Orient remains the stronger contender in this match. Vale, on the other hand, seems to be facing a losing streak with no foreseeable prospect for improvements. Based on this, I would suggest a bet on the home side victory.
