Stockport County may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. The Hatters's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the O's, and 10 goals against.

Stockport Co. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 12 matches. Leyton Orient are currently occupying 2nd spot in their division, gaining 23 points from their 12 games.
