Wrexham v Leyton Orient: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Two teams pushing for promotion in League One meet at STōK Cae Ras on Tuesday as Wrexham host Leyton Orient on Tuesday evening.

Wrexham are third and just outside the automatic promotion places on 58 points, two points behind second-placed Wycombe Wanderers.

Leyton Orient are three places and eight points behind their hosts, but a win on Tuesday would give them a realistic chance of catching come May.

The previous meeting finished 0-0 in September and Tuesday's battle promises to be a close encounter.

Wrexham v Leyton Orient betting tips and predictions

Draw - 23/10

Both teams come into Tuesday's encounter in good form, with Wrexham winning their last four in all competitions, while Leyton Orient have won four of their previous six matches.

Since their 3-2 defeat to Stevenage at the end of January, Wrexham have beaten Crawley Town, Port Vale, Bolton Wanderers and Northampton Town.

Phil Parkinson's team look like they will have every chance of earning promotion if they can maintain their recent form.

However, they face a Leyton Orient side that have lost only two of their last 17 games in the third tier.

Richie Wellens' team pushed Manchester City all the way in the fourth round of the FA Cup earlier this month, losing 2-1 at home, and they can leave Wales with at least a share of the spoils.

Both teams to score - 19/20

Wrexham's promotion push has been built around their home form, with Parkinson's side winning 12 of their 16 matches in front of their own supporters.

The Welsh outfit have scored 31 goals at home, the most of any side in League One.

With Wrexham only losing once at home all season, they will expect to hit the ground running from the first whistle, but Leyton Orient's recent form is impossible to ignore.

The O's are unbeaten in five matches on their travels in League One, scoring 15 goals during that time. They hammered Barnsley 4-0 in December and put three past Bristol Rovers in a 3-2 success in January before also beating Exeter City 6-2 last month.

Both teams are in a rich vein of form in front of goal, so expect both to find the net with ease on Tuesday night.

Charlie Kelman to score anytime - 10/3

Leyton Orient have spread the goals around the park this season, but striker Charlie Kelman leads their charts with nine in 30 appearances.

The American has 13 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions so far this season, while he has also picked up four assists.

He has caused plenty of problems for opposition defences, and he was one of his team's best performers in the recent 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Kelman was on target in Leyton Orient's last league encounter against Lincoln, and he has five goals and two assists in his previous 11 appearances.

Wrexham have conceded eight times in their last six home matches in the league, and Kelman will feel that he can get at them and unsettle their rhythm.

Leyton Orient will feel that they need to score on Tuesday to get anything out of the game, and Kelman's recent form suggests he will play a pivotal role in their success.
