Leyton Orient vs Grimsby Town Predictions

Leyton Orient have played seven pre-season friendlies in their preparations for the new campaign, seven of which have seen both teams net, including a 2-2 stalemate with Dagenham and Redbridge.

Richie Wellens has signed Theo Archibald from Lincoln and George Moncur from Hull for a side who won just nine times at Brisbane Road last season, despite conceding only 22 goals there.

Grimsby, quite frankly, enjoyed a ridiculous return to the EFL as they won the National League play-offs thanks to three successive extra-time victories.

Both teams scored in each of those matches, as they did in eight of the Mariner’s last nine fixtures, and despite adding depth in midfield and attack through the likes of Otis Khan, that defence may well still struggle.

Both teams to score looks a solid enough bet for me to be my initial selection in this game, but the two sides could cancel each other out, with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
