Comparative Team Statistics: Leyton Orient vs Peterborough

A fixture that's rarely one-sided

The last two meetings split evenly. Orient won 2-1 at home back in March, while Peterborough returned the favour with a 1-0 win at their own ground in December 2025. Go back further and the scorelines stay tight more often than not, with plenty of draws and one-goal margins mixed in.

That pattern suggests this fixture doesn't tend to produce one-sided afternoons, even if the two teams' current form looks quite different.

A clear gap in the table

Leyton Orient sit 14th with 17 points from 13 games, while Peterborough are down in 22nd with 10 points from the same number of matches. Orient's goal difference is healthier too, 19 scored against 14 conceded, compared to Peterborough's 11 scored and 23 conceded.

That's a meaningful separation in league position, built up over the season so far rather than just recent form.

Players to watch at both ends

Jaydon Kabia leads Orient's scoring with four goals, and Yusuf Akhamrich has added three goals and two assists in seven appearances. Dan Mitchell's three assists in six matches show he's been heavily involved in Orient's attacking play too.
