Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While O's have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Oxford Utd. is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! U's have conceded 13 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Leyton Orient see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 4 points from their 3 games played so far, Oxford Utd.'s 4 points from 3 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th 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
