Leyton Orient v Solihull Moors


Date:04/09/2018

Time:19:45

Venue:Breyer Group Stadium


The O’s welcome Solihull Moors for Orient’s first home match in September.


Solihull come into this game in good form, having lost just twice this season so far. They have won four on the bounce since their last defeat.


Last season they started very poor and ended the campaign strongly. But this season they have started well, their odds by the bookies showed they would be a mid-table team. Tim Flowers has got this team playing attacking football as showed by them scoring in every game so far.


Orient currently sit one place above Solihull Moors and are unbeaten in eight games and have won their last two games and kept three clean sheets in four games.


This fixture will only be the third time they played each other with both teams winning their home games last season.


Last season when Orient played at home, they won 3-1 with goals coming from Lee, Mooney and Elokobi.
