Prediction Leyton Orient vs Blackpool 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for League One on 22/11/2025

Clash at Brisbane Road: Orient look to tighten grip at home

Leyton Orient welcome Blackpool to Brisbane Road on Saturday in a meeting that pits home comfort against away fragility. The O’s sit 16th with 20 points from 16 games and have carved out a string of important domestic wins recently, including a 2-1 victory over Exeter City last weekend where Idris El Mizouni produced the match's standout rating. Brisbane Road has been a relatively reliable base for Orient this season: 14 goals scored at home and only eight conceded underline a side that finds a rhythm when backed by its own crowd of just over 9,200.

Blackpool arrive in the capital in search of answers. Placed 21st with 15 points, the Tangerines have shown flashes — three wins in their last five at one point — but the recent trips have yielded too little. Their away log is worrying: only three goals scored on the road while conceding 12. That imbalance explains much of their low position and helps explain why Orient are the early bookmakers’ favourites. The visitors’ most recent reverse at Burton Albion last weekend underlines inconsistency on the road: a 1-0 loss where chances were limited and cutting edge absent.

Form, stats and the thread beneath the numbers

Digging into the metrics, Leyton Orient’s attack profile is healthier in the local environment — superior total shots, a higher shots-on-target return and more clean sheets (four) than Blackpool can boast away. Blackpool’s away record of three goals in the campaign sparks alarm bells: games involving the Tangerines on their travels have been tight and low-scoring, and their single away clean sheet suggests the defensive record is leaky but not matched by offensive output. Both teams’ recent form lines hint at volatility, but home advantage, better recent results and the March H2H where Orient left Bloomfield Road with a 2-1 win add weight to the hosts.

Betting markets will reflect Leyton Orient’s clear edge. The bookies show Orient as favourites with the home win priced around 1.81, a figure that matches the narrative: home scoring comfort, superior shots and recent domestic momentum. Blackpool’s away inefficacy makes the draw or away win less appealing, and both-teams-to-score looks risky given Blackpool’s low away goals tally.

Hoping to convert the analysis into action, the cleanest, value-focused call here is to back the home side.

Betting suggestion: 1X2 — Leyton Orient to win (odds ~1.81). Rationale: superior home form, healthier attacking numbers at Brisbane Road, Blackpool’s meagre away goal record and a recent H2H win for Orient.
