History of the Cambridge United v Leyton Orient fixture

Leyton Orient face a trip to Cambridge United at Abbey Stadium on Saturday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 12 out of 17 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2002, the U's carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Cambridge United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While U's have scored 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. While the O's have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Camb. Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division Three, showing a record of 23 points from their 19 games played so far, Leyton Orient find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 22 points from their 19 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

A creditable return from recent away games for O's could well see them head back from Abbey Stadium with a share of the spoils, think the FootyMad panel. Score draw
