Crewe Alexandra have had problems winning points this season. Will the gang get something to cheer about when Leyton Orient come to visit Alexandra Stadium?
- Crewe Alexandra have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Leyton Orient have the fewest conceded goals (17) in League Two
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
5 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Crewe Alexandra have to build on here at Alexandra Stadium in the League Two.
Alexandra's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Grimsby Town (placed 16th). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points through four league games.
Before that, Crewe Alexandra drew at home versus Stockport County.There will be little rest for Crewe Alexandra after this match as they are travelling to Crawley Town for a League Two game in only four days.
Crewe Alexandra have conceded 17 in these home matches. When Alexandra hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Newport County, Colchester United, Crawley Town, Rochdale, Gillingham, Hartlepool United and Harrogate Town), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.
Leyton Orient form and stats
7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Leyton Orient playing as the away team in the League Two this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Wellens, the Leyton Orient manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Leyton had fun at their own home (Alexandra Stadium) last time out, beating AFC Wimbledon 1-0. Moncur scored. That win felt nice as this team had gone three league fixtures without winning. Midfield player Moncur was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.71/10. Moncur scored one goal, hit three key passes and had 27 successful passes (of 31 total).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tranmere Rovers wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Lacking goals? 12 of this side's latest 15 league matches have contained two goals or less.
Leyton Orient have another game away from home in just four sleeps, a League Two game versus Walsall. A grim itinerary for the visiting team!
Leyton Orient are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 14 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Leyton as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
