Leyton Orient face AFC Wimbledon at Brisbane Road this Saturday 21 November in a League One fixture. The O's, currently 14th with 17 points from five wins, two draws and six losses, will look to build on a recent cup win after a 4-2 defeat to Barnet last time out. They are 12 points behind the league leaders.
Recent form
Orient's recent results have been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches across all competitions. Their last five league games have brought two wins, one draw and two losses. They suffered a heavy loss at Barnet, but had previously thrashed Harborough Town 5-1 in the FA Cup. Their last league victory was a 3-0 home win against Cambridge United at the end of October, following a 2-0 win over Blackpool and preceding defeats to Burton Albion and Reading.
Opponent analysis
AFC Wimbledon visit sitting 17th in the table, having edged Blackpool in their last outing. Their form has also been mixed, with three defeats preceding that narrow victory.
The most recent meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw back in August. This league encounter carries more weight as both clubs seek to move clear of the lower reaches of the table. Leyton Orient's top scorer this season is Jaze Kabia, who has four goals and provided an assist in the recent defeat at Barnet.
Richie Wellens's side are expected to field a similar lineup to the one that started against Barnet, which featured Dane Scarlett up front and Tony Springett in an advanced role. The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday at Brisbane Road.
