Blackpool desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in the League 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Blackpool come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Leyton Orient, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Blackpool head into this on the back of a defeat, while Leyton Orient arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 10 previous meetings, Blackpool lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Blackpool won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Blackpool a slight edge, but Leyton Orient are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
