Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

There’s a great feel about Leyton Orient after last weekend’s win, but on their day Peterborough United are a top side and tough to beat.

Leyton Orient Predicted-Line-up: Zachary Hemming; Jack Currie, Dan Happe, Omar Beckles, Thomas James; Sean Clare, Jordan Brown; Dan Agyei, Ethan Galbraith, Ollie O'Neill; Charlie Kelman.

The 4-1 win over Stockport County was no doubt a season highlight for Leyton Orient fans so far. Stockport have been one of the stronger sides in the league, and still unbeaten.

In fact, that was Orient’s second win on the bounce and seemed to have turned a real corner. Before they beat Reading prior to Stockport, they had lost every single league game (4 in a row). They’ll have no reason not to believe they can win this tough game against Peterborough, and could well take nine points from three games.

The standout player for the home side in recent weeks has arguably been Ethan Galbraith who scored twice in the victory on the weekend. The 23-year-old midfielder now has three goals this season and has certainly been a bright sparke for Richie Wellens’ side.

Peterborough United

Predicted Line-up: Jed Steer; Jack Sparkes, Oscar Wallin, Jadel Katongo, Emmanuel Fernandez, David Ajiboye; Archie Finn Collins, Hector Kyprianou, Kwame Poku; Chris Conn-Clarke, Ricky-Jade Jones.

Peterborough United are unbeaten in their last three matches since a loss at home to high-flying Wrexham. They’re 10th in League One with three wins, one draw and two losses.

Away from home, Peterborough have been very strong in their recent fixtures, with three straight wins on the bounce on the road. For us, the standout player for Peterborough United so far has been 23-year-old Kwame Poku. The winger has scored in his last two games and has four already in League One. That makes him the joint second highest scorer in the third tier in 2024/25.

His agility on the ball and trademark finish into the far corner has been a joy to watch for Peterborough fans.
