Struggling Leyton Orient will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Forest Green Rovers in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Leyton Orient form and stats
With 2 League Two wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Leyton Orient are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 263 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Wright was the last player to find the net.
Leyton Orient's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Scunthorpe United (placed 19th). Before that game, the home loss against Maldon & Tiptree with the scoreline 1-2.
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 six games. Leyton Orient has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.
The Leyton Orient fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Forest Green Rovers form and stats
Playing away, Forest Green Rovers, who have the fewest conceded goals (11) in League Two, have won 5 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the League Two this season. Forest Green Rovers love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Plymouth Argyle with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Forest Green Rovers manager M. Cooper faced defeat when travelling to Walsall and losing 0-6.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Forest Green Rovers in our archives, and the results are: 7 wins for Forest Green Rovers, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Forest Green Rovers are hosting Crewe Alexandra in the League Two only three days away.
Forest Green Rovers find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Forest Green Rovers as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
