League One
The clubs have met four times in League One over the past two seasons. Peterborough hold a slight edge, remaining unbeaten in those meetings with one win and three draws.
Peterborough United team overview
Peterborough’s start to the League One campaign has been disastrous. Darren Ferguson’s men are winless after six matches, sitting bottom of the table with just one point – a 1–1 draw against Bradford. More concerning is their lack of cutting edge in attack, as they have failed to score in four of their six league fixtures.
They will be without Sam Hughes, who remains sidelined with an Achilles tendon rupture.

Leyton Orient team overview
Leyton Orient have fared slightly better, collecting two wins and a draw from their opening six games to sit on seven points, just outside the relegation zone. However, their form has dipped in recent weeks, with back-to-back defeats against Mansfield and Northampton halting early progress.
Demetri Mitchell is unavailable following knee surgery and will not feature.

Prediction
Neither side has impressed during the opening month of the season. Peterborough, in particular, endured a woeful August, failing to win any of their seven matches in all competitions and avoiding defeat only once. Leyton Orient began more brightly but have also struggled in the past fortnight. With both teams lacking attacking consistency – and Peterborough failing to score in four of their last six league outings – this looks set to be a tense, low-scoring contest. Prediction: A closely fought encounter, with one side likely to fail to score.
Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- Peterborough are still winless in League One this season.
- Peterborough have failed to score in four of their last six league matches.
- The two sides played out a goalless draw (0–0) in their League One meeting in January 2025.
Main prediction Peterborough United - Leyton Orient
Both Teams to Score - NO
