Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While O's have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Bristol Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Pirates's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 5 goals for and 4 against.

Leyton Orient's total of 12 points from their 7 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Bristol Rvs. are currently occupying 2nd spot in their division, gaining 15 points from their 7 games.
