Recent respective form guides

Southend United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Shrimpers have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The O's's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
