Saturday 25th January.
Leyton Orient v Newport County.
After a run of ten league games without a win and only four points gained, County have won three from three since, two league and one EFL Trophy. Leyton Orient have just one win from their latest fourteen league games with six draws and seven defeats. Orient were hopeful prolific goalscorer John Akinde would join the club but, instead, he opted for Gillingham yesterday.
As was the case when both clubs met last month, there will be a commemoration for the late Justin Edinburgh before kick off.

Meetings between both clubs since County regained Football League status:
2015 / 2016:
Newport County 2-3 Leyton Orient.
Leyton Orient came to Rodney Parade with maximum points from three league matches and a +7 goal difference.County, with new manager Terry Butcher, had one point from three league games. Trailing 2-0 after seven minutes with goals coming from Paul McCallum and Jay Simpson, County hit back with two goals late on in the first half from Scott Boden and Mark Byrne.
Orient regained the lead on fifty nine minutes from Dean Cox and held on to that lead. A somewhat unfortunate defeat for County after matching Orient over the ninety minutes.

Leyton Orient 1-0 Newport County.
This was Warren Feeney's third game in charge after the sacking of Terry Butcher. The games only goal was a late penalty, conceded by Darren Jones, scored by Orients leading scorer Jay Simpson.Making his debut for Orient was player manager Kevin Nolan who came off the bench with around twelve minutes remaining. Orient were just within the play-offs after twenty eight games while County were four points clear of the drop after twenty seven games.

2016 / 2017:
Leyton Orient 0-1 Newport County.
In what was only the second league game of the season for both clubs, the games only goal came from Jamie Turley around thirty four minutes, his first goal for County. This was the first time County had won a league game at Orient since 1982, some thirty four years.

Newport County 0-4 Leyton Orient.
With County having thirteen to play and Orient twelve, this was a six pointer between the bottom two in the table. County were eleven points within the drop zone with Orient being eight points from avoiding the drop. Despite fielding a side virtually of youth, Orient won comfortably, Josh Koromo scoring a hatrick.  After just five months in charge and on his 49th birthday, this defeat saw the sacking of Graham Westley, to the relief of County supporters.

2019 / 2020:
Newport County 1-1 Leyton Orient.
An emotional afternoon at Rodney Parade with both clubs remembering Justin Edinburgh who passed away six months earlier.

Padraig Amond leveled late on for County with around ten minutes remaining. Both teams were currently on poor form.

Good luck to County over the Orient today. A win today would really help our season.
With Orient not doing as well as I think they'd have hoped, Brisbane Road remains a tricky place to go and get a result.
This is one game I'd definitely gone to had I been able.
Soft spot for Orient but obviously wanting a County win.

Good luck county hope the new boys do well if selected I really fancy us today so I'm going
3 - 0 win to county

Great write-up, Reebok!

I’ve put 0-2 in the prediction league and won’t be changing it. Even with our recent form, I’m not sure I have been over generous there. I do think we will win but maybe by just the odd goal. Cmon the County.

3-1 to the County

I don’t wish to be pedantic, but didn’t John Sheridan take over after Butcher was sacked? Feeney was given the job after Sheridan did the dirty on us.

Labadie and Inniss originally named in an unchanged line-up but late changes and replaced by Willmott and Dolan

Nothing mentioned on the argus twitter why the changes were made have to wait till end of gameif it is injury hope it not to bad

Tommy Johnston Is a famous link between the County and Orient. Probably one of the best players to have played for either club. My Grandfather stopped going to watch the County due to his strength of feeling about us selling Johnston (to Orient).

Sounded a pretty unconvincing first half and Tom King had to make 3 exceptional saves to keep us in it.
