History of the Leyton Orient v Peterborough United fixture

Leyton Orient are ready to welcome Peterborough United to Matchroom Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 7 and lost only 3 of the 13 games.

The previous match played between the two at Matchroom Stadium was within the last three years, in April 2006, the O's carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While O's have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Leyton Orient are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 33 points from their 33 games thus far. Peterborough are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 60 points from 34 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the O's at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Posh come away with an easy victory. Away win
