Leyton Orient vs Wrexham Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

Wrexham continue their pursuit of promotion to the EFL Championship with an away game against a Leyton Orient side in inconsistent form at 10am this Saturday live on Paramount+.

Since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham, they have consistently been promoted every season. Wrexham are currently top of the table in League 1, and if they can continue this good form, they will be in the EFL Championship, only one division away from the English Premier League. The Welsh club returned to winning in their last game, beating Crawley Town 2-1 after losing their first league game of the season to Birmingham City, who NFL legend Tom Brady partly owns.

We expect Wrexham to continue their good form with a win this Saturday, so for our first pick, we are backing Wrexham to win and score over 1.5 goals. So far this season, Wrexham has played 8 games in all competitions. In these 8 games, they have only failed to score over 1.5 goals once. Both of these came in games that Wrexham either drew or lost. In the games Wrexham won, they scored over 1.5 goals every time. 

You can bet on Wrexham to win and score over 1.5 goals at odds of +200 at bet365 Sportsbook.

Since Wrexham's Hollywood owners took charge, Paul Mullin has been their leading man. The striker from Liverpool has been a key part of the Welsh club climbing the divisions over the years by consistently scoring crucial goals. Last season, the striker produced 26 goals in all competitions; the previous season, he came up with a whopping 46 goals. In fact, the celebrity owners love him so much that Ryan Reynolds gave him a cameo role in his latest Deadpool movie.

This season, however, has been a bit different. The Wrexham striker has yet to score a goal in the league. He missed the start of the season through injury and has not performed as well as in previous seasons. He is also at the center of slight controversy at the minute he appeared to bite an opponent during Wrexham's loss to Birmingham.

However, as the old soccer saying goes, "Form is temporary, but class is permanent." Mullin will certainly find his form sooner rather than later, and it seems like he is due for his first league goal this season. A game against a struggling Leyton Orient side, who are 16th in the league table, could be the perfect opportunity for him to do so.

We are backing Mullin to score his first goal of the season on Saturday at odds of +187 with bet365.

Leyton Orient vs Wrexham Head-to-Head

These sides have not played each other since 2006, when Leyton Orient won 2-1, so there is not much point in analyzing the head-to-head statistics. However, taking a brief look at them is an interesting watch. Both sides have beat each other 11 times each, and there have been 10 draws, so the head-to-head stats couldn't be more even.
