Leyton Orient form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at The Breyer Group Stadium as Leyton Orient have scored 23 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the League Two are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). Leyton Orient are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

A nice win for Leyton last time playing, versus Swindon Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1 with Drinan (2) and Smith (2) scoring for the victors. Harry Smith, a forward, was the highest rated player for the team in that match, scoring a rating of 8.8 (out of 10). Smith scored two goals.

Previous to that game, a FA Cup home match hosting Tranmere Rovers in a game that was won 4-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Leyton's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.

The Leyton manager Jackett has got the team scoring with 23 from 10 home games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 13 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. As for guarding their own goal, Leyton have only let in 5 goals at home.
