Leyton Orient currently sit 10th in Sky Bet League One on 62 points, and come into this match against Fleetwood on the back of a 3-0 defeat away at high-flying Derby County. George Moncur scored an own goal in the 10th minute, with Sonny Bradley scoring a brace to seal three vital points.
The side from East London have won 18 matches all season, with 17 coming in the league. In their last home win, Orient beat Cheltenham 3-1 thanks to goals from Ethan Galbraith, Ollie O'Neill and Ruel Sotiriou. With this their first year back in the third tier of English football, they will want to finish the campaign on a high.
One player for the Cods to look out for is Sotiriou. The Cypriot forward has scored 12 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions, with his last coming in the game mentioned above. Sotiriou has scored a brace on two occasions - with one being in the 4-3 win over Northampton back in February 2024.

PAST GAMES AGAINST ORIENT
Town will be looking to continue their 100% unbeaten record against Orient, where the Cods will be desperate to collect maximum points and a clean sheet just like the last meeting.
Jack Marriott opened the scoring with just under an hour played as he got on the end of a Junior Quitirna’s cross into the box and poked home in a poacher’s fashion, both sides ended the game with ten men though as Carl Johnston and Ethan Galbraith both were shown a red card late on.
Fleetwood first met Leyton Orient in 2014 in Town’s debut season in Sky Bet League One where in the first meeting between the two sides the points where shared.
Stephen Dobbie’s equaliser with ten minutes to go cancelled out Darius Henderson’s opener for Orient - Town got one over on Saturday’s hosts in their next face-off later that season when the sides met next as Gareth Evans’ goal was the only difference in that game, a result Fleetwood’s current squad would take.
