Leyton Orient face a trip to Bristol Rovers at Memorial Stadium on Sunday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The O's will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 25 and win only 10 of the 46 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.
