History of the Leyton Orient v Peterborough United fixture

Peterborough pack their bags to visit Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Posh will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 7 and win only 3 of the 13 games.

The previous match played between the two at Matchroom Stadium was within the last three years, in April 2006, the O's carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While O's have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Leyton Orient are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 33 points from their 33 games thus far. Peterborough are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 60 points from 34 games.
