Nothing to worry about in defence for Leyton Orient, as their goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux has completely shut out the opponents for 200 minutes in the League Two.

Leyton Orient enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Rochdale's place. The match ended 1-0 with Moncur scoring. Moncur (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.14/10. Moncur scored one goal, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 33 successful passes (of 38 total).

Walsall form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.

There were no winners in Walsall's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Colchester United (placed 21st). Kinsella got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, top player of the team. Kinsella hit one key pass.

A 1-2 defeat away at Bradford City before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Walsall playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 4 draws and 1 home win.

Walsall have another fixture away from home in just three sleeps, a EFL Trophy match versus Cheltenham Town. A difficult calendar for the visiting team!

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between these contenders: Leyton Orient won four, Walsall were winners in two and we saw four draws. two games with more than 2,5 goals, eight matches with under 2,5 goals.
