Two sides placed just outside the League One top six, Reading and Leyton Orient will face off this Wednesday. Hosts Reading are seventh, a point and two places above Leyton Orient. Leyton have had a dominant past in this encounter, and we are backing them for a win in this prediction.
Reading haven’t had their best days in recent weeks, as they come here winless in the last two outings. The first of them was a cup game against Chelsea U21, which ended 2-0.
That was followed on with a 1-0 loss at the hands of struggling Wigan in their latest League One outing. The Wigan loss left Reading winless in four of their last eight matches, having only won twice in that period.
Like Reading, Leyton Orient are also coming here with only two wins in their last eight matches. The visitors, however, have more than enough reasons to stay optimistic.
They are unbeaten in their last two matches, both in which they kept clean sheets. The first was a draw at Bradford City and more recently a 2-0 win at home against Blackpool.
The O’s last faced off with Reading in January, and they posted a comfortable 3-1 win. That marked a fifth triumph for Leyton in seven meetings with Reading. They actually lost once in the last nine meetings with Reading.

Our Reading vs Leyton Orient London Prediction
Leyton Orient have this opportunity to continue with their rise in League One, the short-term target being to settle in the top six. They will be banking heavily on their recent run against Reading as they go for three points here.
The visitors’ recent form will also likely propel them, and we can expect another dominant display from Leyton Orient. Reading have been struggling in their latest outings, and adding to their poor form in this fixture means they could drop more points here. Our prediction for Reading v Leyton Orient is that Leyton Orient wins.
