Blackpool – Leyton Orient

Blackpool host Leyton Orient in what promises to be a tight encounter, with the home side sitting tenth on 8 points after two wins, two draws and two defeats, edging a +2 goal difference (11‑9). Leyton Orient, meanwhile, sit 15th with 7 points from the same number of games, having scored one more than Blackpool but conceding the same tally, leaving them on a neutral goal difference (12‑9). Both clubs have enjoyed two victories so far this season, but Blackpool’s unbeaten run in four matches gives them a slight edge. The fixture could prove pivotal for Orient’s push out of the lower half, while Blackpool will aim to consolidate their position in the top half of the table.
