Blackpool – Leyton Orient Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Blackpool vs Leyton Orient lineups.
Blackpool
Blackpool failed to make it 4 wins in 4 on Tuesday night when being held to a 0-0 home draw by Port Vale. The Seasiders were the dominant team and should have won but they failed to convert their chances.
Still, with 4 clean sheets in a row, Blackpool are high on confidence and they look like a team on a mission right now. The Seasiders are the only team that is yet to concede a goal in League One.
Experienced defender Pennington wasn’t risked in midweek due to a groin injury. He has recovered well though and should be ready to start again now. The only player certain to miss is the backup defender Gabriel.
Predicted Lineup:
Grimshaw (GK), Pennington, Ekpiteta, Husband, Hamilton, Morgan, Norburn, Dougall, Lyons, Carey & Lavery
Leyton Orient
The Orient suffered their 4th consecutive defeat since the start of the season on Tuesday. They fought well on their visit to Wycombe but still lost 2-3. Once again the defensive display was awful.
This is set to be the first clash between the teams in over 6 years. Back in May 2017, Leyton lost 1-3 on their visit to Blackpool.
Leyton have many injury issues right now. Their main goalie Sol Brynn got hurt last Saturday and he will be out for some time. There are 3 other players currently in rehabilitation. On top of that, both regulars Sweeney (left-back) and Pratley (inner midfielder) limped off the pitch injured in midweek so they also threaten to miss now.
Predicted Lineup:
Howes (GK), Hunt, Turns, Beckles, James, El Mizouni, Brown, Moncur, Sotiriou, Pigott & Archibald
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: James Husband
Blackpool’s rock-solid centre-back James Husband is one of the main reasons why the Seasiders remain the only League One team yet to concede a goal this season. With Blackpool remaining at home for this match we can see Husband delivering another very dominant and solid display at the back.
