LAST MEETING: Leyton Orient 0 Colchester 1 (League One 10-10-09). Kayode Odejayi netted on 54 minutes to settle this tight game between two in-form teams.

HEAD TO HEAD: Orient 13 wins, Colchester 12 wins and three draws.

THE OPPOSITION: Colchester’s promotion dream has died since Christmas. But boss Adi Boothroyd is safe with the backing of chairman Robbie Cowling. The season has ended with the club marooned outside the play-off spots with nothing to compete for. The U’s have lost at home to only Leeds, Norwich, and Millwall in League One. And 2-1 to Orient last August in the League Cup.

DANGER MAN: Top scorer Kevin Lisbie could pose a threat but the loan man is out of form. His personal woes mirror the team's, which has managed one win in 13 games. Midfielder David Pruttun is back from a ban.

DID YOU KNOW: Attendances at the gleaming Weston Homes Community Stadium are too low, at an average 5,500. That is because the U’s built their new home in a rush to escape Layer Road. So the new stadium is located in splendid isolation at the top of a hill in a valley with next to no transport infrastructure for fans to reach it.

PREDICTION: Colchester 0 Orient 1.

MIDWEEK: This is Orient's final game of the season, so they will not be in action until July's pre-season friendlies.
