Season ticket holders at Courage Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Leyton Orient languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Newport County will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League Two match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Northampton Town, was also a home game here at Courage Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Leyton Orient form and stats
Leyton Orient's results here at Courage Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 2 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Leyton Orient fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Walsall game long ago, can be stopped today.
The spoils were shared in Leyton Orient's previous game, also at home. Visiting Northampton Town (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Port Vale (0-1).
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 seven games. Leyton Orient has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
The manager R. Embleton will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crewe Alexandra in only three days.
Leyton Orient are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 14 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Leyton Orient defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Newport County form and stats
3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Newport County playing as the away team in the League Two this season.
Newport County won their last game, 2-0 versus Swindon Town played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Scunthorpe United at their stadium, the result 2-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Newport County playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 5 Newport County wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Newport County as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. 11 goals have been conceded by Newport County in these games.
