PORTSMOUTH-LEYTON ORIENT
I
am not a big fan of Orient, they lose a lot of games, 23 already in
2012 and that will get you relegated in almost every season and we are
talking about their results over 41 matches, not 46.
The
O's are coming off a 4-1 win at Carlisle United on Saturday and they had a midweek
cup game at Gloucester before that, despite the confidence gained from
that big win, that is about 20 hours spent on a bus in the last six
days and that will take a toll, either tonight, or at home to Preston
on Saturday.
Pompey
have not scored in six and have a lot of well documented problems, but
there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. The takeover deal with
the
Supporter's Trust looks set to go through before Christmas and would
take the club out of administration. On the pitch, they have been
creating chances, but the ball has not fallen for them in front of goal
and they have hit the woodwork a division high 11 times this season.
They signed signed Peterborough winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and
Swindon striker Paul Benson on loans last week, both played in the 1-0
home defeat to Doncaster Rovers and will be more in sync with their team
mates tonight.Yesterday they re-signed central defender Ricardo Rocha,
the former Portugese international made 76 appearances for Portsmouth,
before his contract was terminated because of the financial problems and
he will fit seemlessly back into the line up. This is going to give
caretaker boss Guy Whittingham, who also has Scott Allan back from a
three match suspension, more options, his team have been on the South
Coast for the last ten days, with no travel, just the one match and should strip much the
fresher of the two teams. 1.25 units Portsmouth -0.25 ball 2.00.
Good Luck.
