Leyton Orient odds: 17/10 (2.70) – 36.0%
Draw odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 26.0%
Portsmouth odds: 31/20 (2.55) – 38.0%
Draw or Portsmouth at 13/20 (1.65) is looking very good at the moment, with Pompey having a 60.61% shot at avoiding defeat. Portsmouth are the bookmakers’ expected winners, with a 38.0% win probability ahead of Saturday’s clash. That’s barely a 2.0% gap between the two teams’ win probabilities, but we believe that even the home-field advantage won’t help Leyton make up for the lack of consistency.
Leyton Orient vs Portsmouth Lineups & Team News
Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient didn’t enjoy the best start to their 2023/24 League One campaign. The team got defeated 1-0 by point-hungry Addicks on the 5th of August. The game could’ve gone either way, as Leyton had 51.0% possession and only two shots on target fewer than Charlton Athletic.
Predicted lineup – Brynn (GK), James, Happe, Beckles, Hunt, Pratley, El Mizouni, Sweeney, Sotiriou, Pigott & Archibald
Portsmouth
Pompey were hammering away against Bristol Rovers’ packed defense last week and were close to getting pipped 0-1. However, it was a match-saving 92nd-minute goal by substitute Kusini Yengli that helped Portsmouth avoid defeat. Will coach Barton now give him a chance among the starting XI? If so, our Leyton Orient vs Portsmouth predictions will surely receive a huge boost.
Predicted lineup – Norris (GK), Rafferty, Poole, Tower, Ogilvie, Lowery, Pack, Morrell, Whyte, Bishop & Scully
Player to Watch: Kusini Yengli
As we mentioned in the previous chapter of our betting tip, Kusini Yengli’s miracle goal last week proved decisive as Portsmouth earned their point at Fratton Park. The 24-year-old Australian was introduced in the second half of the game but quickly made an impact with his overall presence on the pitch. Kusini scored a 92nd-minute goal, thus earning two things – the MOTM award and the right to be under the spotlight of this Leyton Orient vs Portsmouth prediction.
