History of the Leyton Orient v Colchester United fixture
Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Colchester United at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 20 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was just last season, in January 2011, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Leyton Orient, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw
