Stevenage are welcoming Leyton Orient for another important game after their 1-3 result against 15th-placed Grimsby Town.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stevenage and Leyton Orient.

Stevenage form and stats

With 2 League Two wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Stevenage are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Stevenage fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Morecambe game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager G. Westley led his Stevenage to a defeat in the League Two match away at Grimsby Town. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Lamex Stadium. Preceding that match was the home game against Plymouth Argyle that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Stevenage perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stevenage as a small favourite), we find nine games. Stevenage has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Stevenage aren't scoring a lot here at The Lamex Stadium in the league, with only 10 goals from 15 games. Stevenage's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Leyton Orient form and stats

The visitors are W4-D4-L7 on the road this term. That's in the League Two. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Leyton Orient's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Leyton Orient, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Crewe Alexandra (placed 3rd). Before that, Leyton Orient secured a home win against Newport County with the score 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leyton Orient playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 1 Leyton Orient win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Leyton Orient are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Leyton Orient have conceded 23 goals in these games.
