History of the Leyton Orient v Cheltenham Town fixture

Cheltenham T. face a trip to Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the hosts winning just 2.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2006, the O's carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While O's have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Cheltenham T. is pretty dire, chalking up just 1 victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While the Robins have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leyton Orient find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 10 points. Cheltenham T. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 15 points from their 14 games thus far.
