Luton Town vs Leyton Orient Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2025

Luton Town will entertain Leyton Orient at Kenilworth Road in League One on Monday. The hosts will look to extend their momentum while the visitors seek a return to winning ways.

Luton Town vs Leyton Orient Preview

Luton Town were able to snap their winless run after crushing Wycombe 4-0 on Boxing Day. It was the hosts’ first win in five matches following a four-game winless run during which they dropped as many as 10 points. Monday's match will probably tell if Luton Town have truly broken the trend of shedding points.

The Hatters were relegated from the Championship last season after finishing 22nd out of 24 teams. They are hoping to secure a return to the Championship this term but must avoid dropping further points. They sit in the eighth spot with 32 points, and are closely followed by six other teams, which are tied on 28 points.

Leyton Orient were humbled by Peterborough United 1-0 on Boxing Day. It was their third defeat in five matches and fifth in 10 matches. They sit 12th on 28 points. A win could have moved them closer to the ninth position, but they are not far from the League One play-offs qualification zone – only three points away.

The O's missed the target by a whisker last season, when they finished in sixth position – one place shy of the play-offs. Their objective for this term is once again the play-offs qualification zone, at least, according to head coach Richie Wellens. The last two matches between Luton Town and Leyton Orient ended in draws.
