Season ticket holders at The Lamex Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Stevenage languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Leyton Orient will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Stevenage, their manager A. Revell and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Stevenage are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 413 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by E. List).

The Stevenage fans got no joy from their last match, a League Two game also here at The Lamex Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Newport County (placed 2nd). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Forest Green Rovers.

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 ten games. Stevenage has won four of these, drawn four and lost two.

There will be little rest for Stevenage after this match as they are travelling to Harrogate Town for a League Two game in only three days.

The Stevenage fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Stevenage are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Lamex Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Leyton Orient form and stats

2-1-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Leyton Orient in their League Two matches away.

It's the second away game in a row for Leyton, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Tranmere Rovers (placed 17th) in the League Two last time out. A 2-3 loss hosting Grimsby Town before that.

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 eight relevant matches. Results were four Leyton wins, two draws and two defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Leyton are hosting Exeter City in the League Two only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Leyton have scored 4 goals in 4 league games away. Leyton Orient are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Stevenage two wins, two draws and Leyton Orient six victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
