PREVIEW: LEYTON ORIENT

23 August 2019

SCENE SETTER

Reds make their first visit to Brisabane Road's Brever Stadium on Saturday since 2016 when we take on promoted Leyton Orient in a Sky Bet League 2 fixture.

THE FORM GUIDE

The O's produced the best result of the midweek round of league games when they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Mansfield. It was the ideal return to form after they lost 3-0 at Macclesfield, 2-0 at Plymouth in the Carabao Cup and drew 0-0 at home to Stevenage in their previous three matches. They won their opening league game 1-0 at home to Cheltenham. Our 2-1 loss at home to Crewe on Tuesday was our first in four in League and Cup. 

PAST MEETINGS

There has never been a draw in ten previous League meetings, seven of which have been won by Crawley. Find out more here

TEAM NEWS

Joe McNerney (back) and Mason Bloomfield (ankle) are the only injury doubts for Reds.
