Leyton Orient form and stats

Leyton Orient have collected 14 points from their League Two home games so far after 4-2-3. Leyton has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Embleton and the players.

In their previous game, the manager R. Embleton led his Leyton Orient to a defeat in the League Two match away at Cambridge United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The H2T Group Stadium. Ahead of that match, Leyton lost 1-2 at home to Crawley Town.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Leyton's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn one and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Leyton as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Salford City are visiting.

The Leyton fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 9 league matches. Leyton Orient have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Southend United form and stats

There's been little loot from Southend United's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the League Two. Southend United, who have the the worst goal difference (-18) in League Two, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Visiting Southend United has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Southend go into this game after a win, the home game against Colchester United that ended 2-0. A 1-1 draw at Mansfield Town's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Southend United when being an outsider away as they are today, we find ten matches with the visitors losing seven times, drawing two and winning one game.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Newport County.

Southend are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 9 away games. Southend have conceded 15 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Leyton, four draws and five wins for Southend United. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
