Struggling Leyton Orient will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Northampton Town in the upcoming league round. It's 20th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Leyton Orient nor Northampton Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Leyton Orient form and stats
With 2 League Two wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Leyton Orient are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Leyton Orient lost their last game at Port Vale (placed 10th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Grimsby Town.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Leyton Orient have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 1 Lost 2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Newport County in only four days. This game is also played here at Courage Stadium.
The Leyton Orient fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.
Northampton Town form and stats
