Recent respective form guides

Notts. County need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Magpies have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The O's's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Notts. County see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League Two, showing a record of 48 points from their 39 games played so far, Leyton Orient are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 66 points from 39 games.
