Form Guide

Leyton Orient — All Games: 4W 2D 4L from 10 League One outings this season, averaging 1.40 points per game. Last five: D W L L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Leyton Orient, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Leyton Orient's home record at Brisbane Road: 3W 2D 5L from 10 League One appearances (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Across all League One games this season, Stockport County have recorded 6W 2D 2L from 10 outings — 2.00 PPG. Last five: W W D L W. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 0.80. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Stockport County, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Form points away from home here. Stockport County's 2.00 PPG return is 0.60 points per game ahead of Leyton Orient's 1.40 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 8 previous meetings, Leyton Orient have won 2, Stockport County 2, with 4 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

The 8 previous meetings have averaged 2.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 7 Feb 2026, ended 0–0 with a draw.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Leyton Orient 1.05 xG and Stockport County 1.35 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Leyton Orient attack 0.991 / defence 1.012 | Stockport County attack 1.060 / defence 0.751. League average goals — home 1.406 / away 1.262. Stockport County's defence strength of 0.751 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 59 Leyton Orient games / 60 Stockport County games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Leyton Orient 27% | Draw 31% | Stockport County 42%. Fair-value odds: Leyton Orient 3.70 | Draw 3.23 | Stockport County 2.38. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 43% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.40. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 57% — total xG of 2.40 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
