Leyton Orient form and stats

Leyton Orient have collected 25 points from their League Two home games so far after 7-4-5.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Grimsby Town.

As you see from the result above, Leyton suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

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 17 games. Leyton Orient has won nine of these, drawn four and lost four.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Leyton, as the League Two home game vs Scunthorpe United is only four days away.

The Leyton Orient fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Leyton have conceded 16 goals.

Stevenage form and stats

There's been little loot from Stevenage's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 17 away games in the League Two. Stevenage only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 8 draws. Stevenage has drawn their two previous away games.

449 minutes! That's how long the Stevenage goalkeeper Jamie Cumming and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Forest Green Rovers.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stevenage playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Stevenage wins, two draws and one defeat.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Stevenage manager A. Revell as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Southend United.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stevenage as they have only managed to score 11 times from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Stevenage have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
