With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Tranmere Rovers fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Leyton Orient.
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 Tranmere and Leyton Orient.
Tranmere Rovers form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Tranmere Rovers's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Prenton Park.
Tranmere Rovers lost their last game at Newport County (placed 2nd) after a 0-1 scoreline. 2-2 away at Salford City before that.
This is expected to be a close game, with Tranmere Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tranmere as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Tranmere Rovers has won five of these, drawn three and lost five.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Southend United are coming to town in four days.
Tranmere Rovers has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Leyton Orient form and stats
Leyton Orient are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League Two, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
The manager R. Embleton was unhappy after their last game, a League Two match played at their home ground Matchroom Stadium. Leyton suffered a 2-3 loss to Grimsby Town (placed 15th). A 1-2 defeat away at Walsall before that.
Late heartbreak for Leyton in the Grimsby Town match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
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 seven relevant matches. Results were three Leyton Orient wins, two draws and two defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Stevenage.
Leyton Orient are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). Leyton have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Tranmere, one draw and four wins for Leyton Orient. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
