Orient Eyes Historic Double Over Doncaster
27 Jan
Summary
- Doncaster has lost only one of last seven home games.
- Orient seeks first league double over Doncaster since 1997-98.
- Richie Wellens remains unbeaten against Doncaster as manager.
Leyton Orient is set to pursue a significant Football League achievement: securing a double over Doncaster Rovers. This historic feat has not been accomplished by Orient against Doncaster since the 1997-98 season. In that earlier campaign, Orient notably won the corresponding fixture 4-1.
Doncaster Rovers presents a formidable challenge on home turf, having suffered only one defeat in their last seven Football League games played at home. Within this period, they have secured four victories, scoring three or more goals in three of those wins.
Adding another layer to the narrative, Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens carries an undefeated record against Doncaster. Across five previous meetings in his Football League managerial career, Wellens has yet to experience a loss, with two wins and three draws.
Adding to Doncaster's recent struggles, they are currently on a winless streak of six midweek league games. Their last victory on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday was in February 2025.
