Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)

Leyton Orient hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 39 points and a 19th position in the League Two table. Visiting Cambridge United holds 13th place with 45 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Leyton Orient form and stats

Overall League Two stats at home this season for Leyton Orient are 4-8-6 (wins-draw-losses).

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Leyton Orient, who played 2-2 against Oldham Athletic. That match was also played at this venue (The H2T Group Stadium). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Cheltenham Town.

This is expected to be a close game, with Leyton Orient 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 nine games. Leyton Orient has won four of these, drawn three and lost two.

Leyton Orient are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 18 games. Leyton Orient have conceded 29 from these games.

L D W W W

Cambridge United form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 5 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

Cambridge United failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Carlisle United (placed 20th) that ended with defeat 1-2. A 0-0 draw at Plymouth Argyle's stadium before that.

It's a bit worrying for Cambridge United that their goalkeeper Callum Burton made six saves in the Carlisle United game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Cambridge United in our archives, and the results are: one win for Cambridge United, three draws and five defeats.

The attacking power of Cambridge United when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 18 league matches away. 19 goals have been conceded by Cambridge United in these games.

Head 2 Head
