Season ticket holders at The Breyer Group Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Leyton Orient languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Walsall will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the EFL Trophy. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at AFC Wimbledon.

Leyton Orient form and stats

Leyton Orient's struggle is real here at The Breyer Group Stadium with only 5 points collected from 6 League Two games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.

In their previous game, the manager R. Embleton led his Leyton Orient to a defeat in the EFL Trophy match away at AFC Wimbledon. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Breyer Group Stadium. Before that match, a League Two win away at Northampton 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 four matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

The Leyton Orient fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Leyton Orient defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Walsall form and stats

3-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Walsall in their League Two matches away. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Walsall, as they have won on their previous two travels.
