Stevenage – Leyton Orient

Stevenage host Leyton Orient in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the home side perched in ninth place on nine points after two wins, three draws and a single defeat, boasting a modest +4 goal difference (11‑7). Leyton Orient sit in 15th, two points behind their opponents, having also secured two victories but only one draw from six games, and they sit on a negative goal difference of –3 (12‑9). The clash pits a side looking to cement a top‑half push against a team desperate to climb out of the lower mid‑table, and the narrow gap in points suggests a battle that could easily swing either way. Both clubs will be keen to improve their positions as the season edges toward its decisive stages.
