‘Feisty encounter’ – Sutton United Vs Leyton Orient prediction: The72

Sutton United’s loss in the Papa John’s Trophy final against Rotherham United will still be stinging. 

Sutton United were seconds away from a famous Wembley win before the Millers equalised at the death and later went on to win in extra-time. 

The U’s will be looking to bounce back with a win over Leyton Orient at home this weekend. 

Here a selection of The72’s writers make their predictions for the game-

Harry Mail 

 “Sutton United still have a chance of making the play-offs and have been very impressive at home this season. They haven’t lost at Gander Green in their last 12 outings on home soil.  

“Leyton Orient have turned a corner under new boss Richie Wellens and he is making a great first impression. The O’s have players who can hurt Sutton like Aaron Drinan, Harry Smith and Otis Khan and they’ll get a draw here.” 

Score prediction: Sutton United 1 Leyton Orient 1 

Luke Phelps

“Sutton United have had a fine season in League Two and coming off the back of their hardy Wembley showing against Rotherham United, I expect them to give Leyton Orient a good fight.

“Orient have picked up some improved results of late and so it should make for a feisty encounter this weekend – given either side’s positive form, I can see this one being a score draw.”

Score prediction: Sutton United 2 Leyton Orient 2

James Ray

“Leyton Orient have looked strong since bringing Richie Wellens in, while Sutton’s form has faltered, pushing them out of the play-off picture somewhat. 

“If Matt Gray’s side are to earn a top seven finish, they will look at this game as a good chance to get three points on the board, and I can see them getting just that. It won’t be easy, but Gray will be hoping to galvanise his squad after their cup final heartbreak.”

Score prediction: Sutton United 2 Leyton Orient 1
