6th position in the League Two table for Forest Green Rovers so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 11th-placed Leyton Orient visits The New Lawn.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Forest and Leyton Orient.
Forest Green Rovers form and stats
Forest Green Rovers have collected 8 points from their League Two home games so far after 2-2-0. Two home wins in a row for Forest bring valid hopes of a third.
In their previous game, the manager M. Cooper led his Forest to a defeat in the League Two match away at Cheltenham Town. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The New Lawn. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Grimsby Town.
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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost three.
There will be little rest for Forest Green Rovers after this match as they are travelling to Lincoln City for a FA Cup game in only four days.
Forest are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Forest have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Leyton Orient form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Leyton Orient playing as the away team in the League Two this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Leyton, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Leyton are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the League Two against Bolton Wanderers (placed 19th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Exeter City.
As you can tell from the results above, Leyton was very dominant against Bolton Wanderers, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Conor Wilkinson, Danny Johnson, Craig Clay and Jobi McAnuff providing the goals.
We have checked recent matches where Leyton Orient have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were two victories, four draws and four defeats.
After this away game Leyton return home for a FA Cup game against Newport County. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Leyton Orient have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. It's not easy to score on Leyton as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
