Leyton Orient's poor home form now matches the worst record in England's top four divisions. The club has lost nine of its 15 league games at Brisbane Road in 2026, winning only three and drawing three.
That statistic places them level with the side with the most home defeats across the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two this calendar year. It follows a run of three consecutive home defeats this month, leaving the O's 15th in the League One table with seven points from six games. Their recent form reads one win, one draw and three defeats.
Recent home struggles
The latest home setback was a 2-1 loss to Arsenal's Under-21 side in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday. Before that, they fell 3-2 to Wycombe Wanderers and 3-1 to Bradford City in league action. The defeat to Bradford was part of a wider pattern, as the Bantams have kept a clean sheet in all four of their league wins this term, a feat they had not achieved in their opening six games since the 1988-89 season.
While Orient's defence has been breached frequently, other clubs have set defensive benchmarks. AFC Wimbledon have kept more league clean sheets than any other side in the top four tiers this season with four, including a 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers today. At the other end, newly-promoted Bromley have conceded more goals than any other team in those divisions, letting in 17.
High-scoring affairs elsewhere
Goals have not been in short supply in Stockport County's matches, with 26 scored in their games this season, the highest tally in League One. They lost a seven-goal thriller 4-3 at home to Leicester City today.
For Leyton Orient, the immediate focus is on arresting this slide. Top scorer Youssef Akhamrich has three goals this season, but the team needs to find greater solidity at home. They face Stevenage at Brisbane Road on Saturday, with the visitors currently sitting ninth in the standings. The full run of upcoming games is available on our fixtures page, while the current League One standings show the tight nature of the division.
The club will be desperate to improve a home record that has seen them pick up just 12 points from a possible 45 in 2026.
