Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Leyton Orient at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 23 and lost only 6 of the 44 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
