Stevenage host Leyton Orient in the Football League One on Sunday, aiming to end their winless run in the competition. Since beating Stockport 3-1 for their 10th league win of the season, the Boro appear to have run out of steam, going their next four without a victory.
They drew 2-2 to Burton Albion before AFC Wimbledon held them to a goalless stalemate. Cardiff City then inflicted a 2-1 defeat on Stevenage while blowing their lead yet again in a 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle.
Thanks for the submission!
The slump in form has seen their side relegated to seventh place on the League One table with 37 points from 22 games as Stevenage dropped out of the playoff spots.
However, all’s not lost yet. Manager Alex Revell’s side are just one point off the top six and could climb back into the promotion places with a win this weekend against the struggling Leyton.
The O’s are on a rough patch too, losing their last three League One matches in a row and four of their last five. A narrow 2-1 win over Bradford City was their only positive result during this run.
With only 28 points from 24 games, Leyton are down in 18th place of the League One table, just four clear of the relegation zone. For a side that finished sixth in the league last season and came agonizingly close to Championship promotion, this has been a massive decline.
