Football betting tips for Leyton Orient vs Brentford in Saturday afternoon’s top of the table clash in League One.

It is likely to be a whopper of a points total which clinches League 1 in May as the three way tussle at the top continues. It may be advantage Wolves by the end of the weekend, particularly as Leyton Orient and Brentford meet at Brisbane Road. If the match ends up a draw, it’ll play straight into the hands of Kenny Jackett’s men who have been unplayable at times in recent weeks.

Leyton Orient have been this season’s surprise package, not many people expected them to still be launching an assault on the title come March. ‘Doing a Tranmere’ is how it is known in League One circles and most pundits wrote off their small squad which looked weak compared to the riches assembled by some of their financially flush rivals. The O’s have risen above all expectations and still find themselves in 2nd and with every chance of reaching The Championship.

Many people suggested Brentford would be looking to bounce back after the playoff disappointment last season and despite Uwe Rosler heading North (although spending a fair bit of time down the road in Wembley), Mark Warburton has continued the upward momentum.

The Bee’s currently sit in third and had their unbeaten run ended in spectacular fashion by Wolves before playing out a disappointing goalless draw with Carlisle, however back-to-back victories since suggest the boat has been steadied.

Leyton Orient have had the upper hand in recent fixtures, beating Brentford 2-0 on their own patch earlier in the season and I fancy them to topple the West London side once again. Russell Slade has instilled an unbreakable team spirit, securing the services of the majority of last season’s playing staff and it is evident that the squad are playing for him and each other. It will be the biggest crowd of the season in attendance for this encounter and despite the possible absence of Romaine Vincelot, I’d back Leyton Orient to win the match for my first football tip that will see them increase the gap between the two sides. Leyton Orient to win 13/8 with Ladbrokes.

Brentford failed to score against Leyton Orient back in September, I don’t think it’ll be the same this time round and after the aforementioned blip, they appear to have found their scoring touch once again. Clayton Donaldson has scored in their last two games, but they also weigh in with a few goals from midfield too.

Leyton Orient almost always score, only failing to find the back of the net twice all season so I think there will be a minimum of one goal each in this meeting and I’d back Both Teams to Score for another football betting tip at 5/6 with Bet Victor.

There are a litany of strikers dominating the anytime goalscorer market, but looking further down provides greater value and this match may be won by a moment of magic. Moses Odubajo has got the Orient fans on their feet at various points this season and he has also found his shooting boots this season, scoring 10 to date. He still has youth on his side and (Leyton Orient fans close your ears) it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him snapped up by a Championship club in the near future. He is 11/2 with Sky Bet to score at any point during the 90 minutes.
