Leyton Orient v Peterborough

Leyton Orient vs Peterborough Preview

Leyton Orient collected a second win on the trot in League One on the weekend when The O's produced an excellent 4-1 win away from home at Stockport County, while Peterborough United also picked up all three points in a high-scoring 3-2 home win against Bristol Rovers, so both teams will head into this midweek clash at the Gaughan Group Stadium in confident mood.

Leyton Orient experienced a shocking start to this new League One season though as the London club were dealt defeats in each of their opening four games of the new term, slipping to defeats at the hands of Bolton Wanderers, Charlton Athletic, Birmingham City and Shrewsbury Town respectively.

However, seemingly unlikely back-to-back wins on the road at Reading 1-0 and Stockport County 4-1 have given Leyton Orient a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming clash with Peterborough United on Tuesday night as the hosts attempt to pick up their first home win of this new season.

The bigger picture suggests this may be easier said than done though as Leyton Orient have managed to capture just five wins from their last 17 matches overall in the English third tier, slipping to 10 defeats in the process.

Peterborough United bounced back from a previous loss and a draw in League One on the weekend when they recorded a welcome 3-2 home win against lowly Bristol Rovers at their Weston Homes Stadium and The Posh will also fancy their chances in grabbing another three-point haul on Tuesday night when they make their way to the nation's capital for this upcoming clash.

The visitors have produced a mixed bag of results so far in this new League One season, picking up three wins, a draw but also slipping to two defeats as well, but it is worth mentioning that The Posh have won two of their three wins so far this term on their travels.

Wins achieved on the road at Shrewsbury Town 4-1 and Exeter City 2-1 suggest Peterborough United may not be overly worried about the hitting the road on Tuesday night especially as their hosts have yet to register a home win so far in this new campaign.

In addition, Peterborough United have won six out of their last nine outings on the road in the English third tier which includes picking up all three points in their last visit to Leyton Orient with a 2-1 win towards the end of the last campaign.
