Grimsby Town form and stats

Grimsby Town's struggle is real here at Blundell Park with only 13 points collected from 14 League Two games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-7.

Grimsby are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Harrogate Town. Before that, Grimsby had a home game versus Crawley Town which ended with a victory 2-1.

Jake Eastwood had a busy but productive day in the Harrogate Town match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Forest Green Rovers in only four days. This game is also played here at Blundell Park.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Grimsby Town here at Blundell Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 14 games). Grimsby have conceded 21 from these games.

Leyton Orient form and stats

Leyton Orient have only collected 14 points from their away games in the League Two, after 4-2-8 (14 played).

Leyton failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Tranmere Rovers (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-3. A 0-1 defeat away at Bradford City before that.

The schedule is very tough for Leyton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Exeter City is waiting in only four days.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Leyton Orient in these games.
