The home side sit 15th with seven points from six games, having scored 12 and conceded nine, while Cambridge sit just inside the top five on 11 points, also boasting a 11‑9 goal tally. With Orient looking to snap a run of three defeats and Cambridge eager to extend their unbeaten streak, the encounter could see the Orient defence tested by a side that has already secured three wins this term.
