Leyton Orient vs Man City Prediction

We have a third-tier side taking on one of the giants of European football at Brisbane Roar with the ingredients for a potential giant-killing there as Pep Guardiola’s City go to the O’s.

The home team come into this one on the back of defeat, though, as Kyle Wootton’s early goal was enough to separate them and fellow playoff chasers Stockport County at home last week. However, prior to that defeat, they had suffered just one loss, in the EFL Trophy against Stevenage, in 15 matches across all competitions.

Manchester City endured a very tough run through late autumn and most of winter before some improved performances and results within the last month or so. However, capitulations are still happening with a 4-2 loss at Paris Saint-Germain after leading 2-0 and then a 5-1 demolition at the hands of Arsenal last weekend happening in recent times.

Leyton Orient have been excellent as the season has gone on with Richie Wellens’ attacking approach at the forefront of that, as shown by their 6-2 win at Exeter City recently. However, City should still come out on top in what could actually be quite entertaining for the neutral.
