History of the Leyton Orient v Swindon Town fixture

Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Swindon Town at Matchroom Stadium on Friday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 6 of the 33 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, the O's carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
