Leyton Orient form and stats

39 points is a decent return from 16 League Two games here at Brisbane Road for Leyton Orient. The data says 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. In general it's been a long time since Leyton Orient tasted defeat here at Brisbane Road, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

A nice win for Leyton last time playing, versus Rochdale. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Mizouni and Sotiriou scoring for the victors. Midfield player Mizouni got a match rating of 7.82 in that game, the max score being 10. Mizouni scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 67 successful passes (of 80 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Walsall that finished 1-1.

It should be taken into account that a look at the 13 most recent league games reveals that 11 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Leyton Orient are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 16 games. Leyton have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only {5 goals}.

Crawley Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Crawley Town so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 0-6-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

Crawley Town lost away at Stockport County (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfielder Powell was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.44. Powell scored one goal and hit three key passes.

A draw for Crawley before that, at their own venue hosting Crewe Alexandra (2-2).

The attacking power of Crawley Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Crawley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Crawley Town - Leyton Orient 0-1 was the story when these sides formerly played each other, also in this season.
