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 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Leeds Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Whites's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.

Leyton Orient's 56 points from 41 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Leeds Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 61 from their 40 games so far.
