Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the O's winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2006, the O's carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Leyton Orient need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While O's have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Cheltenham T. is pretty dire, chalking up just 1 victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While the Robins have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Leyton Orient find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 10 points. Cheltenham T. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 15 points from their 14 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
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
