LEYTON ORIENT v NEWPORT COUNTY
Tuesday 26th January 2016 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – League Two Betting Tips
Leyton Orient registered a valuable 2-0 win away at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday which has lifted tonight’s hosts to within touching distance of the play-off pack with a home match ahead of them this evening against bottom half outfit Newport County.
Newly-appointed player-manager Kevin Nolan oversaw his side’s first win under his guidance at the weekend with Nolan making the curious choice of plunging into football management despite there being at least a couple of good seasons yet on the playing side for him.
Anyway, West Ham’s loss is Leyton Orient’s gain and The O’s will be looking to bounce back at the Matchroom Stadium this evening and break into the play-off pack while their home record stands at 6-4-3 23/16 with striker Jay Simpson (21 goals) being the most likely anytime goalscorer for the home side.
Visitors Newport County were held to a 2-2 draw on the weekend by League Two strugglers Dagenham & Redbridge, and The Exiles have won just once in their last six matches overall which was a 1-0 win away at bottom club York City.
That win at York ended a run of four matches away from home without a win for the Welsh outfit, while their away record stands at 4-3-6 14/18 while they’ve failed to score on six occasions already on their travels this term.
Leyton Orient are expected to receive new impetus under new manager Kevin Nolan and his experience at the top level will be invaluable to The O’s as they prepare for a final push for a play-off place.
