Leyton Orient – Luton

Match analysis

Leyton Orient host Luton in what promises to be a tightly contested clash in the lower reaches of the table. The home side sit 15th with seven points from six games – two wins, a draw and three defeats – and a modest +3 goal difference (12 scored, nine conceded). Luton, three places above, have collected eight points, also from six fixtures, boasting two victories, two stalemates and two losses, but their defensive frailties are evident in a –1 goal difference (12 for, 13 against). Both clubs have been evenly matched this season, and the encounter could prove pivotal for Orient’s survival hopes as they look to close the gap on the Luton side, who will be eager to extend their slight points advantage.
