Burton Albion
- With just one point between the sides, the mid-table nature of both Burton and Leyton Orient is evident.
- The hosts sit on 22 points from 16 games and Leyton Orient on 21 from 17 games played.
- Burton have won three of their last five games (W3, D1, L1) - a 6-0 FA Cup win over Altrincham and a 2-1 league win - however, a heavy defeat in the EFL Trophy has brought the Breakers down to earth.
- Gary Bowyer’s side are typically a gritty team who play a solid, deep block and look to hit on the break and from set pieces.
- Jake Beesley, the leading scorer for Burton, has been a threat on the field for the side and the pace of Charlie Webster in midfield has allowed the side to transition quickly and pick up a few goals, which can be important when considering Burton Albion vs Leyton Orient betting tips.
Leyton Orient
- Richie Wellens’ side have had a mixed bag of results over the last five, including a 2-1 win against Exeter and a cup victory, but were also crushed 4-1 at Wycombe and have won just one of their last three in the league.
- Orient are a high-pressing, front-foot team who will look to suffocate the hosts in a similar fashion to their approach against Wycombe.
- Aaron Connolly is the O’s main striker and scoring threat while Idris El Mizouni and Charlie Wellens control the tempo and creativity.
