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 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Millwall is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. The Lions have conceded 10 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.

Leyton Orient are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 6 points from their 8 games thus far. Millwall's 10 points from 8 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

Its been a distinctly poor show from Leyton Orient at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the O's will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Failed to win in previous 7 home matches.
Not won in the 8 most recent games.
