This article focuses upon Leyton Orient’s next opponents, Harlow Town, as we take a look at their form, previous meetings and much more ahead of this weekend’s fixture.
Orient will make the short trip to The Harlow Arena for friendly that will kick-off at 11:30am to accommodate those fans wishing to watch England’s World Cup Quarter-final against Sweden.
Saturday’s game is a repeat of the fixture which opened Orient’s pre-season last campaign as a newly assembled Orient outfit ran out 1-6 winners.
Harlow Town ended last season on a low with final day defeat at the hands of Wingate and Finchley ending their unbeaten run at home. In comparison, the O’s ended a turbulent season on a slight high, winning their last fixture 3-1 at Gateshead.
The Hawkes and the O’s will be looking to build on a 21st place Itshmian League finish and a 13th place National League finish, respectively.
