General match analysis
Plymouth Argyle head into the match in better form, having won 4 of their last 5 games and scored 15 goals in the process, while Leyton Orient have won just once and scored 6. The visitors also have the edge away from home, averaging 2 goals and 6.25 shots on target per game, compared with the hosts’ 1.25 goals and 2.75 shots on target at home. Chance quality also favors Plymouth: their away xG is 1.82, while Leyton Orient’s home xG is just 1.08. The hosts have lost 75% of their home matches and concede an average of 2 goals there, which, combined with their opponents’ current scoring form, boosts the visitors’ chances of winning. However, Plymouth have not kept a clean sheet away from home, so the outcome is far from certain.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS has landed in 80% of Leyton Orient’s last five matches and 60% of Plymouth’s games, pointing to a greater likelihood of both teams scoring than the hosts’ season-long figure of 25% alone would suggest. Plymouth average 2.0 goals and generate 1.82 xG away from home, while Leyton have conceded an average of 1.8 goals across their last five matches. The hosts also have good reason to find the net: they average 1.5 goals at home, while Plymouth concede 1.75 goals away and have yet to keep a clean sheet on the road. Caution is warranted, as Leyton keep a clean sheet in 50% of their home matches, but the recent form of both teams supports a BTTS - Yes pick.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this total was reached in 75% of Leyton Orient’s matches and 100% of Plymouth Argyle’s matches in the seasonal data considered. Plymouth average 2.0 goals and 6.25 shots on target per match, while Leyton conceded an average of 1.8 goals across their last 5 matches. The hosts also have a chance to find the net, averaging 1.5 goals, while the visitors concede 1.75 goals per match. An expected total of 3.20 goals also supports a higher line, but Over 2.5 goals landed in 50% of each team’s matches, making the 1.5 line the clearer signal.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Plymouth have won 4 of their last 5 matches, while Leyton Orient have won just 1 and lost 3, giving the visitors a clear form advantage.

After half-time, the visitors scored an average of 1.6 goals across their last 5 matches, compared with 0.4 for the hosts, making a Plymouth lead at the break followed by a win the most likely scenario in the HT/FT market.
