Plymouth Argyle form and stats

3 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Plymouth Argyle have to build on here at Home Park in the League Two.

Plymouth Argyle's last game was hosting Carlisle United (placed 20th) and winning 2-0. 1-1 away at Swindon Town before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Plymouth Argyle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.

The manager R. Lowe will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Exeter City in only four days.

The Plymouth Argyle fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. Plymouth Argyle have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Leyton Orient form and stats

The visitors are W3-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League Two. Leyton Orient has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Two travels in a row for Leyton Orient, whose manager C. Fletcher could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Grimsby Town. Before that, Leyton Orient secured a home win against Walsall with the score 3-1.

As mentioned above, Leyton Orient was the only team on the pitch versus Grimsby Town in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Leyton Orient are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of seven matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Leyton Orient are hosting Carlisle United in the League Two only four days away.

The travelling fans enjoy Leyton Orient's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 7 league matches away. 10 goals have been conceded by Leyton Orient in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Plymouth Argyle, 2 draws and 3 wins for Leyton Orient. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
