History of the Barnet v Leyton Orient fixture

Leyton Orient travel to take on Barnet at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 8 games played, O's have recorded 2 wins, and Barnet have come away with 4 victories.

The last time the two teams met at Barnet was just over four years ago, in April 2001, with Leyton Orient inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Bees in a League Division Three match.
