Leyton Orient's next opponents, Cambridge United, underlined their strong away form with a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough on Tuesday. The result keeps the U's as the only League One side yet to lose on the road this season ahead of their trip to Brisbane Road this weekend.

Neil Harris's side fell behind in the 55th minute when Mason Burstow volleyed home from a Callum Slattery free-kick. Cambridge responded with a double substitution on the hour mark, and the changes paid immediate dividends. Shane Lavery, scoring in a third straight appearance off the bench, set up Sullay Kaikai to equalise just three minutes later after a defensive error from Billy Mitchell.

Harris highlights progress

Cambridge's manager Neil Harris shared a light-hearted moment with director of football Mark Bonner after the final whistle. Harris said.

The club had suffered 5-0 and 6-0 defeats in previous visits during their last stint in the third tier. The point leaves Cambridge seventh in the table, and they will arrive at Brisbane Road on Saturday 31 October sitting in that seventh position.

He confirmed that midfielder James Brophy was substituted due to a hamstring issue and will be assessed ahead of the Leyton Orient game.

Orient's home test

The draw sets up a significant test for Leyton Orient this Saturday. Richie Wellens's side, currently 16th in League One on 14 points after 12 games, have lost their last two matches and will be looking to halt a run of three defeats in five. Their recent form of one win, one draw and three losses in their last five games, which includes a 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion last Saturday and a 1-0 loss at Reading, has left them eleven points behind the league leaders. The O's will be without defender Dan Happe, who is suspended after being sent off against Stevenage. The team's top scorer this season is J. Kabia with four goals, and they have scored 16 goals while conceding 14 across the campaign.

Cambridge's resilience on their travels, which also includes wins at Barnsley and Bradford City this season, presents a clear challenge. Leyton Orient's recent home form includes a 2-0 win over Blackpool on Saturday 17 October but also a 0-2 loss to Plymouth, and they will need to be at their best against a confident visiting side. The match kicks off at Brisbane Road on Saturday, 31 October.
