Barrow form and stats

Barrow have played 5 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The Barrow fans got no joy from their last match, a EFL Trophy game also here at Furness Building Society Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Fleetwood Town.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Mansfield Town.

This is expected to be a close game, with Barrow perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Barrow as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Barrow has won two of these, drawn six and lost four.

A decent goal production from Barrow in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. 7 goals have been conceded.

Leyton Orient form and stats

As the visiting team in League Two matches, Leyton Orient have produced an overall stat of 1-3-1 so far.

Two travels in a row for Leyton, whose manager K. Jackett could celebrate last time after the EFL Trophy win against Crawley Town. As you can tell from the results above, Leyton was very dominant against Crawley Town, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with D. Kemp, D. Happe and R. Sotiriou (2) providing the goals.

Prior to that match, the Leyton manager K. Jackett faced defeat when travelling to Port Vale and losing 2-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leyton Orient playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were five Leyton wins, six draws and seven defeats.

Leyton are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 5 away games so far. As for defending, Leyton rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 8 goals from these away matches.
