Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Northampton Town at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 18 and lost only 7 of the 35 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One 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 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Northampton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Cobblers have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Leyton Orient are leading the way in the Coca-Cola League One, with their 3 games giving them a return of 9 points. Northampton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 3 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
O's's form is quite poor at the moment, but I see this as their ideal opportunity to register a morale-boosting win. Home Win
