Forest Green Rovers form and stats

Last season, Forest Green Rovers's Carabao Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.

5-4-8 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Forest Green Rovers so far this season. It's been an uphill battle for Forest Green Rovers in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Macclesfield Town game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Forest are returning here after visiting Swindon Town in a League Two game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Ebou Adams and Mathew Stevens scored the goal(s). A League Two defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Scunthorpe United.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Forest Green Rovers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won one time, drawn three and lost three.

Forest are traveling soon after this match as the EFL Trophy match at Exeter City awaits in three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Forest here at The New Lawn in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 17 games). Forest Green Rovers's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Leyton Orient form and stats

Leyton's mission in Carabao Cup last season failed in the 1st round.

The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats.

Leyton are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the League Two against Cambridge United. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Oldham Athletic in the League Two.

Leyton Orient are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of nine matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Leyton are hosting Brighton U21 in the EFL Trophy only three days away.

Leyton Orient are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 17 games (in the league). Leyton have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.
