LAST MEETING: Yeovil Town 3 Leyton Orient 3 (League One 22-09-09).

‘It’s just like watching Orient’ came the cry from Brazil after Andros Townsend’s wonder goal set new standards in football. He dribbled from inside his own half and finished the solo effort in style.

Scott McGleish had put Orient in front, but the result was a draw. An early sign of a familiar pattern in a tough campaign.

HEAD TO HEAD: Orient four wins, Yeovil four wins, and four draws.

FORM: The second half of the season starts here. Yeovil are toiling near to the bottom of League One as well, with one win in eight games.

Townsend will be absent for Orient because he has returned to Tottenham Hotspur.

DANGER MAN: Yeovil rely on three of Andros Townsend’s friends from Spurs: striker John Obika, who is top scorer, attacking midfielder Ryan Mason and Steven Caulker.

FUN FACT: Subbuteo only made one non-league side for its table-top flicking game, and it was Yeovil Town. The Glovers' exploits in the FA Cup made them the only choice.

PREDICTION: Orient 3 Yeovil 1.

MIDWEEK: The O's have no midweek game and are next in action at Oldham Athletic on January 9.
