Leyton Orient

WDWWDD 📈

Leyton Orient go into this fixture following on from a 1-1 League Two draw against Swindon Town.

The only name on the scoresheet from Leyton Orient was Omar Beckles (12'). Jacob Wakeling (64') was the scorer for Swindon Town.

Leyton Orient haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.

They have totted up the amount of 9 during that period and have conceded a total of 5. While that may be of interest, time will tell if that trend will be replicated here in this game.

Taking a look at their past results, Leyton Orient:

• are unbeaten in the league by Colchester United in their last 2 games.
• are unbeaten in their last 12 league matches at home. They have been so resilient here.

Colchester United

WDLLLL 📉

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Stockport County in League Two competition, Colchester United will be hoping to turn things around here.

Kyle Wootton (37') was the scorer for Stockport County.

Clashes with Colchester United have had a tendency of being somewhat tedious encounters latterly with a dearth of scoring being a common characteristic.

• haven't been beaten by Leyton Orient in games played away from home for the previous 5 matches in the league. A very good record, indeed.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.
