Why we like this pick
Leyton Orient +0.25: Bradford barely score, and that is why we are with Leyton Orient. Bradford get less than a goal a game and did not score in two of their last four, losing 0-2 at Plymouth and tying 0-0 with Burnley. Their games are quiet ones too. Only 3 of Bradford's last 14 games had 3 or more goals. Orient are not a free scoring side either, but they have more going on. They score more than a goal a game, let in about one, and they have Dane Scarlett and Oliver Dovin available. At Brisbane Road they have tied 3 of their 7 home games, so they are not easy to walk over. These two clubs know each other well. The last 13 meetings averaged 2 goals, so nobody should expect a shootout. This looks like a game decided by a single goal, and a 1-0 Orient win is the most likely score. That is exactly the sort of night we are backing. The worry is real though. Orient have won only 1 of their 7 home games, so wins are not coming easily for them. Aaron Connolly is out after surgery and both managers may rest players in a cup round like this. Bradford are hard to break down and could easily leave with a tie. We still make Orient the better team here.
