History of the Leyton Orient v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Leyton Orient play host to Tranmere Rovers at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 6 and lost only 2 of the 10 games.

The last time the two teams met at Leyton Orient was well over fifteen years ago, back in February 1991, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a Third Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While O's have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Tranmere Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Rovers's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Leyton Orient are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 38 points from 34 matches. Tranmere Rvs.'s total of 53 points from their 34 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
