Leyton Orient to Win Without Conceding
Richie Wellens’s side look to have rediscovered their confidence after a difficult spell, and this fixture arrives at an ideal moment. Having arrested a five-game winless streak, the Londoners now enter a sequence of winnable encounters – and they’ll be desperate to capitalise against a Stevenage outfit that appear creatively drained.
Stevenage’s bluntness in the final third is no secret. Across their past eleven league meetings with Orient, they’ve failed to score on eight occasions – an astonishing return for a side that often prided itself on resilience. Most recently, even their lone goal in a 1-1 draw with Reading came from their own captain’s header – not a result of a fluid attacking move, but a scrappy set-piece finish. That highlights just how little they’ve offered in open play.
On the other hand, Orient are showing signs of becoming a more resilient defensive unit, even if past weeks saw them shipping a few. The key difference now is structure – they’re working harder off the ball and keeping things tight centrally. Against a Stevenage midfield duo in Thompson and King who offer energy but minimal creativity, it’s hard to envision many breakthroughs.
Expect the hosts to control the tempo and suffocate any rhythm from their opponents. Given the form books and recent head-to-head record, a home win without conceding is both a pragmatic and value-laden pick.

Charlie Kelman to Score Anytime
When looking for a player to make the difference, Charlie Kelman stands out as Leyton Orient’s most consistent threat. Six goals in his last eight outings tell their own story, and his brace against Blackpool was a fine example of his sharpness in front of goal. That return to form has come at a pivotal time for the club, and there’s every reason to back him to find the net again.
Kelman’s success stems not just from poacher’s instinct, but intelligent movement. He frequently drifts into dangerous pockets between defenders and times his runs expertly – something Stevenage have struggled to handle in recent weeks. With their backline vulnerable to pace and lacking cohesion, particularly in transition, Kelman’s directness could prove decisive.
Moreover, Stevenage’s attacking limitations often put their defenders under pressure due to repeated turnovers. That invites sustained periods of possession for the opposition, and Orient are more than capable of converting that control into opportunities for their talismanic forward. At 11/4, the odds are generous for a player with a nose for goals and the confidence to take on the responsibility.

54/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This Bet Builder combines Leeds’ attacking edge with Oxford’s home scoring form, making both teams to score and a Leeds win a smart play. Solomon’s current purple patch adds goalscoring threat, while Piroe’s recent frustrations point toward potential disciplinary action. All components offer value and are grounded in current form. |
Over 6.5 Corners in the Match
Matches involving these two sides tend to produce steady corner returns, largely due to their style of play. Leyton Orient frequently utilise the flanks, with overlapping full-backs and wide attackers delivering into the box – particularly when Kelman is the focal point. This naturally leads to blocked crosses and deflections that rack up the corner tally.
Stevenage, though lacking in open play invention, do force corners through their commitment to long throws and set-piece play. Even in matches where they’ve failed to create clear chances, their physical approach has resulted in numerous corner kicks. In tight, low-scoring games – which this has all the makings of – corners often become one of the few metrics with consistency.
Backing over 6.5 corners allows punters to exploit a statistical angle not always factored into match odds. Given the directness of both teams and their reliance on wide play and deliveries into the area, it’s a line that looks perfectly achievable and fits well within this value bet builder.
