Cambridge United welcome Leyton Orient at Abbey Stadium, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire on Saturday, Jan 30 at 4:00 PM in a League 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Cambridge United come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Leyton Orient travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Cambridge United a slight edge, but Leyton Orient are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
