Things are looking good for Leyton Orient at this point, with the 1st position in the League Two table and looking forward to facing Tranmere Rovers (who are sitting at 15th).

Insights:
  • Leyton Orient have the most scored goals (12) in League Two
  • Tranmere Rovers have yet to win a game away.

These are active days for the team playing at home, as they played only four days ago in the EFL Trophy. That game was an away game at Oxford United, so at least Leyton are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
