Carlisle United form and stats

Carlisle United have performed here at Brunton Park this season with 10 wins from 16 League Two matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 4.

Carlisle are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Stevenage. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Mansfield Town the opponent.

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 Carlisle United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn zero and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cambridge United are coming to town in four days.

Goals decide football matches and Carlisle United are scoring many of them at home; 32 on target from 16 league matches. On the other hand, Carlisle have conceded 21 goals.

Leyton Orient form and stats

6 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses. That’s the product of Leyton Orient playing as the away team in the League Two this season.

Two travels in a row for Leyton, whose manager J. McAnuff could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Newport County. A draw for Leyton before that, at their own venue hosting Scunthorpe United (1-1).

Leyton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and eight defeats. From a total of 15 matches.

After this away game Leyton return home for a League Two game against Oldham Athletic. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Leyton Orient when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 17 league matches away. 22 goals have been conceded by Leyton in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Carlisle United, three draws and four wins for Leyton Orient. Over 2,5 goals: nine times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
