Leyton Orient vs Mansfield Town Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Adam Murray has said recently in an interview that the pressure is all on Leyton Orient to gain promotion this season. The Mansfield manager says that Orient have put big resources into their promotion push and they cannot fail again this season. Andy Hessenthaler knows that if he is to fulfill on that requirement then he will need to get star striker Jay Simpson up and firing again. Simpson’s excellent season brought the attention of Southend United, although their bid now looks to be dead in the water.

Mansfield have been clocking up the early season miles after last weeks defeat against Plymouth Argyle is followed up by another long trip to Leyton Orient. Adam Murray’s men have done well so far this season and despite that loss they still occupy the last of the play-off places in seventh in the league. Mansfield will be particularly wanting to put an end to their miserable record at Brisbane Road having only taking three victories there in their history and they have defeated at their last six visits to Orient.

This match up of two form sides will prove to be a difficult one to pick a winner from but with Simpson likely to come back into the team and Orient’s excellent home record against Mansfield we are backing them to make it seven home wins in a row. A Leyton Orient win is available at attractive odds with bet365 offering evens. For our correct score tip we are backing a tight 1-0 win which is available at 6/1 with the same site.
