With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Leyton Orient fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Bradford City.
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 Leyton and Bradford City.
Leyton Orient form and stats
When playing at home in the League Two, Leyton Orient have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Leyton after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Leyton's previous game was a League Two match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Harrogate Town (placed 14th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Leyton lost 1-2 at Colchester United's place.
Danny Johnson was absolutely essential when Leyton beat Harrogate Town 3-0, scoring three goals.
This is expected to be a close game, with Leyton perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leyton Orient as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Leyton Orient has won seven of these, drawn three and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Leyton as they are travelling to their away game against Port Vale in the League Two. That match is four days after this one.
Leyton Orient can score goals in their home matches. After 6 league matches they have found the net 12 times. Leyton have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Bradford City form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Bradford are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Bradford City, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Salford City (placed 8th). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Exeter City.
Bradford City lost heavily in their last match (against Salford City as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bradford City playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Bradford wins, two draws and six defeats.
A new game in only four days for Bradford, the FA Cup home match versus Oldham Athletic. Busy days.
Bradford City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 5 games (in the league). As for defending, Bradford City rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 8 goals from these away matches.
