Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Southend United at Matchroom Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 6 of the 36 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Leyton Orient at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the O's will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
