The League Two league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Barrow and Leyton Orient are placed 21st and 17th respectively.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the EFL Trophy.

Barrow form and stats

Barrow have less points than they have played home games in the League Two so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A League Two defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Carlisle United.

Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Leeds United U21 last time out, but a goal from J. Taylor completed a comeback to a draw result for Barrow.

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 six games. Barrow has won one of these, drawn two and lost three.

At Furness Building Society Stadium, Barrow has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

W L D W W

Leyton Orient form and stats

Only one away game in the League Two so far for Leyton Orient and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 4 draws and 8 losses from 17 travels.

C. Wilkinson and L. Angol scored in Leyton's previous match, the home game against AFC Wimbledon that ended 2-0. A 0-2 loss hosting Cheltenham Town before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Leyton in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Leyton Orient, one draw and two defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Leyton Orient manager R. Embleton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Walsall.

1 goal so far away for Leyton Orient, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Barrow-Leyton Orient H2H statistics last four meetings regardless of arena: Barrow zero wins, Leyton Orient two wins, two draws. four of these four matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
