Leyton Orient v Lincoln City

Leyton Orient vs Lincoln Preview

Leyton Orient's winless run in League One continued on the weekend when The O's were dealt a disappointing 3-2 defeat at home to high-flying Oxford United but the hosts do at least get another chance to redeem themselves on Tuesday night when they play host to 10th placed Lincoln City who also suffered defeat away from home at Stevenage on Saturday, so both teams will be keen to return to winning ways at Brisbane Road.

Although Leyton Orient are four games without a win in the third tier though, the London club have suffered just the one defeat out of their previous six matches overall while the bigger picture shows Richie Wellens' side have been handed just two losses in their last 10 matches overall whilst picking up four wins in the process.

However, having managed to capture just five wins to date in this season's League One campaign, with only three of these being recorded on home soil, Leyton Orient are by no means guaranteed the three points here on Tuesday night, but goals may be in short supply as six of Leyton Orient's last 10 league matches have resulted in Under 2.5 goals, so the goals market may be the safest option in this clash.

Lincoln City have also experienced something of a drought in recent times in the English third tier as The Imps have failed to win any of their last four games overall, picking up points in draws with Exeter City and Port Vale but also slipping to losses at the hands of Oxford United and Stevenage respectively.

The visitors produced an encouraging start to this League One season as Lincoln City lost just once in their opening seven games of the new term which came in the form of a 3-0 defeat away from home at Bolton Wanderers but they also picked up wins against Wycombe Wanderers, Shrewsbury Town and Blackpool respectively.

But having managed to collect just a further three wins from their subsequent 10 league matches in League One whilst also slipping to five losses as well, this does not bode well for this upcoming trip to Brisbane Road on Tuesday night but goals have also been hard to come by where Lincoln City have been concerned in recent weeks.

Eight of Lincoln City's last 10 league matches have resulted in Under 2.5 goals being scored and another low-scoring encounter could be on the cards in the nation's capital on Tuesday night against a similarly struggling Leyton Orient outfit.
