History of the Leyton Orient v Milton Keynes Dons fixture

Leyton Orient play host to Milton Keynes Dons at Matchroom Stadium on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the O's have drawn one game and lost the other.

The last time the two teams met at Leyton Orient was amazingly over twenty years ago, in February 1984, where Milton Keynes annihilated the O's 2-6 in a Third Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While O's have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Milton Keynes's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the The Dons, and 7 goals against.

Leyton Orient are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 10 points from their 13 games thus far. Milton Keynes's total of 22 points from their 13 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the O's at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Dons come away with an easy victory. Away win

Sequence statistics:
Leyton Orient Failed to win in previous 5 home matches.

Milton Keynes Undefeated in last 3 away games.
