Huddersfield v Leyton Orient

• Huddersfield have lost 14 of their last 20 matches.

• Leyton Orient have won their last 5 matches.

• Huddersfield have lost their last 5 matches.

• Leyton Orient have the 4th-best away record in the league.

Leyton Orient's hopes and dreams all come down to this. It’s been a rollercoaster of a season for Richie Wellens’ men, who are in a strong position to secure the final League 1 playoff position with a win.

Despite being level on points with Reading, a healthy goal difference of 21 puts them 8 clear of their promotion-vying rivals.

Nonetheless, it’s imperative that they stay grounded and approach their clash with Huddersfield professionally. Their opponents sit 10th in the league following a dire run of form, and have little to play for, with any position between 11th and 8th a plausible outcome.

⭐ Huddersfield v Leyton Orient Predictions and Best Bets

Backing Leyton Orient to take all three points and secure their position in the playoffs looks like excellent value at 1.8. There’s a world of difference between the sides in terms of form, and with this game only really mattering to the visitors, you’d be a brave man to side against them.

The Under 3.5 goals market also looks profitable at 1.4.

Huddersfield’s matches have produced an average of no more than 2.40 goals, the fourth fewest of any side in League 1. Leyton Orient’s average of 2.56 isn’t far behind either. The selection has been a winner in 80% of Leyton Orient’s league games and 76% of Huddersfield’s.

🔵 Huddersfield’s Struggle for Form

Leyton Orient’s record is in stark contrast to that of Huddersfield, who have lost each of their most recent five. Looking a bit further back, the hosts have lost 14 of their last 20, rendering them one of the league's most out-of-form sides.

Since switching to a back-four, Huddersfield have been seemingly unable to find a balance between attack and defence, with positioning being a recurrent issue across the field.

⚪ Leyton Orient’s Dramatic Late Redemption

Leyton Orient seemed to be without a hope of reaching this point not long ago, following five back-to-back losses during late February and early March.

Nonetheless, a superb run of form has seen them pick up 22 points from a possible 27, which has notably included wins in each of their last five.

They boast the league’s fourth-best away record, having recorded 35 points, averaging 1.59 goals per game, which, interestingly, is marginally superior to their average at home.

📊 Huddersfield v Leyton Orient Head-to-Head Key Stats

Despite Leyton Orient being the bookies' favourites coming into this clash, it’s Huddersfield that boasts the stronger head-to-head record.

The Terriers won the reverse fixture 2-0, generating four big chances compared to Leyton Orient’s zero.

This was the only time these sides have met in recent history, given Huddersfield’s extended stay in the Championship/ Premier League, although their respective performances this season would indicate times might be changing.
