Recent respective form guides

Hartlepool United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pools have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The O's's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Hartlepool United find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 31 games have yielded only 21 points.

Leyton Orient's 46 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
