Goal Statistics

Leyton Orient's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Cambridge United have conceded in each of their last 5 League One games. A PG of 1.6 for Richard Wellens's side suggests that run should continue.

With a PG of just 0.8, Cambridge United look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Leyton Orient have kept a clean sheet in 4 consecutive League One matches, and it could be a long afternoon for G. Monk's men.
