The two sides have faced each other nine times since 2020, with just one of those encounters being in the League Trophy. Leyton Orient dominated over this period, winning six times, including a 4-0 victory in the sole League Trophy match during this period. Crawley Town only won twice, while one game ended in a draw. The average number of goals per game was 2.33.
Leyton Orient team overview
Leyton Orient's 3-1 victory against Peterborough in the first round of the Football League Trophy at the ABAX Stadium was a significant turning point. The O's went into that game having lost their previous two matches, but after their victory, they beat Port Vale 3-2 and drew 1-1 with Bolton in the league.
Richie Wellens’ side have not been at their best recently though, losing their last three games and conceding seven goals in the last two.
Despite this poor run of form, home fans will be motivated by the team’s excellent record against Crawley Town, having won the last five meetings 10:1 on aggregate.
Aaron Connolly’s goal in last weekend's defeat to Cardiff City took his tally for the campaign to four, and the Irish professional is expected to keep his place in the final third.

Crawley Town team overview
Meanwhile, Crawley Town’s 4-2 win on matchday proved to be the end of their good run of form. They have not won since, losing all three League Two games and conceding at least two goals in each of the last two.
Having also won just one of their seven away games this season, losing five and drawing one, Tuesday’s game could be another tough one for their fans to watch.
Harry Forster is doubtful for Tuesday’s game, having been withdrawn at the start of the second half in the defeat to Cambridge United, but the hosts don't have any suspensions.

Prediction
With Leyton Orient having failed to win any of their last four matches and Crawley Town currently on a three-match losing streak, it is difficult to pick a clear winner. One thing I am certain of, however, is that there will be plenty of goals. The visitors have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four matches, and they are facing an Orient side that has also struggled defensively recently.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Five of the last six games of Leyton Orient ended with over 2.5 goals.
- At least four goals were seen in all but one of the last four games of Crawley Town.
- 8 of the last 12 meetings between Orient and Crawley Town ended with over 2.5 goals.
