History of the Leyton Orient v Macclesfield Town fixture

Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the O's.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was less than a year ago, in October 2003, with Leyton Orient running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While O's have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Macclesfield's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Silkmen's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
