If there is anyone to look out for in this game it is almost certainly Alfie May.

May scored 27 goals in 50 games last season in all competitions and has started this season off perfectly by scoring 2 in the opening 2 games in League One.

If he can continue that amazing form, he is sure to get on the scoresheet. He will certainly be a standout player in this game.

Leyton Orient vs Birmingham City Prediction

Both teams haven’t had the start to this season they would have wanted. Leyton Orient are yet to pick up a point and despite being currently unbeaten Birmingham would have expected a perfect winning start which hasn’t happened.

However in this game Birmingham are certainly the stronger of the two sides. And we feel like that will show in this game. Picking up three points in their last game was vital and that could be the moment they kick on and start picking up valuable points towards their promotion push.

That is why our team of professional tipping experts are backing odds of 1/1 on Birmingham City To Win in this match. Our best value tip for this game means that a £10 bet could return a potential £20.
