Leyton Orient vs Sheffield WedPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Brisbane Road opens the campaign with Leyton Orient against Sheffield Wednesday, both playing their first competitive League One fixture of the year. Orient's last five outings brought plenty of goals: 7-1 at Waltham Abbey, 2-0 against Oxford United, 2-1 with Antwerp, 1-2 at Swindon Town and 1-1 at Southend. They scored in all five and three of those games went past two goals in total, while the defence was breached in four of the five. There are no recent Sheffield Wednesday fixtures in the available data, and no archive of previous meetings between the clubs either: nothing in the past of this fixture can be consulted, which leaves Orient's own five games as the only material available. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
