Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While O's have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Cambridge U.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the U's have hit 8 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leyton Orient find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 53 points from their 45 matches. Cambridge U. find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 53 points from their 45 matches.
