Oldham Athletic form and stats

With 2 League Two wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Oldham Athletic are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Oldham are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 258 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Couto). The Oldham Athletic goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 193 minutes without conceding a goal in the League Two.

The Oldham fans got no joy from their last match, a EFL Trophy game also here at Boundary Park: A 0-6 defeat against Wigan Athletic. As you see from the result above, Oldham suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

0-0 away at Hartlepool United before that.

The Oldham Athletic fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. Oldham are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (25 from 12 played).

Leyton Orient form and stats

There's been little loot from Leyton Orient's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the League Two. Leyton Orient only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 7 draws. Leyton seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Two away games in a row for Leyton, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Stoke City in the FA Cup.

It was a League Two defeat before that one as the away game against Tranmere Rovers wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Leyton Orient have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Leyton have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Leyton Orient - Oldham 4-0 was the story when these participants formerly met, also in this season. Head-to-head numbers (for the preceeding ten meetings): Oldham won one game, four matches ended with a tie and Leyton Orient have five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
