Leyton Orient 6/5 with

Last updated: Friday 20th October 2006

It might be a bit early to be talking about relegation six-pointers, but the League One game between bottom of the table Leyton Orient and third from bottom Cheltenham at Brisbane Road really does look to be potentially pivotal for both teams.

Neither team is in the rudest of health, with The O's not having won in 12 matches dating back to August 12th, while Cheltenham have lost seven of their last eight.

There are a couple of factors that point to an upturn in fortunes for Martin Ling's side though. The obvious one being their home advantage here, but also the fact that they have been putting in some spirited displays of late, not least when drawing 3:3 away to Oldham Athletic last time out.

The 6-5 available with Ladbrokes for the Leyton Orient victory looks a decent punt under the circumstances.
