📊 Form Guide

Leyton Orient

WLLLWW

Leyton Orient fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 1-0 League Two success against Salford City.

The only player to score from Leyton Orient was Danny Johnson (31').

Leyton Orient haven’t had any problems with scoring, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.

They’ve hit an aggregate of 8 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 7.

Morecambe

LWWWWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Chelsea in FA Cup competition, Morecambe and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Morecambe managed 16% possession and 3 shots on goal with 3 on target. Chelsea got 25 shots on goal with 8 on target. Mason Mount (18'), Timo Werner (44'), Callum Hudson-Odoi (49') and Kai Havertz (85') scored for Chelsea.

The numbers tell their own story, and Morecambe have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in all. At the back, The Shrimps have seen their frailties exposed. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, though.
