Salford City Salfords recent form has been inconsistent. They have conceded 16 goals in their last 5 matches across competitions. In their last few matches they have scored and conceded heavily (e.g. a 72 defeat recently, and a 43 win over Crawley). Their defense is shaky thats a concern especially against a more stable, sharp opponent. Leyton Orient Orient come in with better recent consistency: a convincing 40 win away at Burton Albion, among other positive results showing their attack is in good rhythm. Their defense appears more stable: though not perfect, Orient have managed relatively fewer conceded goals recently compared to Salford. Overall, many analysts tip Orient as slight favourites their form, recent results and stability give them an edge.
