THE bookmakers are predicting a season of struggle for the O's, with most of them believing Geraint Williams' side will do well to survive in League One next term.

The O's are quoted as 50-1 by Bet365 for the title, and only unfancied Yeovil and Stockport have longer odds.

Betfred also have the O's as 50-1 outsiders, while Victor Chandler offers the skinniest odds on the O's and has them as 25-1 shots.

After ending 20th in their first season in League One, the O's have recorded two successive 14th-place finishes, although they did flirt with relegation last season.

This year the division looks tougher than ever and Leeds, who missed out on promotion in the play-offs, are firm favourites with all the bookies.

While Norwich and Charlton, who were relegated from the Championship, are the second and third favourites.

Who the bookies rate for the League One title:

Leeds United 7-2

Norwich 7-1

Charlton Athletic 8-1

MK Dons 10-1

Brighton & Hove A12-1
