Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Scunthorpe United at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 22 previous games, with the O's winning just 11.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was just last season, in March 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been an indifferent run of form for the O's of late, and things are not going to improve with the visit of Scunthorpe U., who one believes will win this game handsomely. Away win
