Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While O's have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Cheltenham T.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Robins have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leyton Orient find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 21 points from their 19 matches. Cheltenham T. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 15 points from their 19 games thus far.
