Leyton Orient vs MK Dons tips and predictions

Patience to be key for Leyton Orient

The visitors are a level above this Leyton Orient side.

Question marks surround the outcome of this fixture. Some pundits have been talking about an away win but the pick is for something else to unfold.

The hosts start the match having looked slick on home soil, winning 4 in a row ahead of this one.

On their own soil The O's look confident. Their recent 4 home matches have them knocking in an average of 2.8 goals per game while they've not been handing out freebies, letting in only 4 goals in their last 12 games at home.

MK Dons can sometimes lose their shape away from home. They've conceded at least once in 13 of their last 14 away matches. This match represents a decent test of their bouncebackability.

They've met several times. Leyton Orient have won 3 of the last 6 fixtures between the two teams. You can chose to ignore them but head-to-head stats are reasons for confidence in them.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up in stalemate though. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that both sides can score as they can both be effective in attack. It's all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value this time around. When there is evidently a gulf in class, games can take an unpredictable turn so all of this preview will depend on how the hosts manage a superior level of the jogo bonito.
