Stat Attack

  • Leyton Orient have lost one of their last five meetings against Wrexham (W1, D3, L1).
  • Wrexham are unbeaten in their last five regular-season league visits to Leyton Orient (W2, D3).
  • Two of Orient’s last three home matches against Wrexham ended in a 1-1 draw, whilst Wrexham won the other game by a 1-0 result.
  • Charlie Kelman has scored in two of Orient’s three home games this season in League One.
  • Jack Marriott has scored in each of Wrexham’s last two away games.

 

Prediction

After a slow start to the season, Orient seem to have found their feet with three matches unbeaten but their defence remains their weak point with one clean sheet.

Wrexham therefore will fancy their chances if can target Orient’s back line especially after a clinical yet wasteful home win over Crawley, which showed just how good this team in that they scored twice from just three shots on target.

Orient though do have momentum so will pose a tough test going forward but I can see Wrexham scraping another win.

Prediction: Leyton Orient 1-2 Wrexham

Result: Leyton Orient 0-0 Wrexham
