Leyton Orient form and stats

Leyton Orient have played 17 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-7-6 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Leyton Orient will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the League Two game against Cheltenham Town (placed 5th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Mansfield Town in a game that was won 2-1.

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 eight games. Leyton Orient has won four of these, drawn two and lost two.

Leyton Orient has scored 22 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 27 goals have been conceded.

Oldham Athletic form and stats

Oldham Athletic have only collected 15 points from their away games in the League Two, after 3-6-8 (17 played). Oldham Athletic seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Oldham Athletic's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Forest Green Rovers that finished 1-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Exeter City wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Oldham Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were zero Oldham Athletic wins, five draws and six defeats.

The attacking power of Oldham Athletic when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Oldham Athletic have conceded 31 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
