Stat Attack
- Leyton Orient have lost one of their last eight EFL meetings against Mansfield (W5, D2, L1).
- Mansfield have won one of their last 11 away visits to Leyton Orient (W1, D2, L8).
- Leyton Orient are looking to keep three consecutive clean sheets at home against Mansfield.
- Richie Wellen’s Os’ are looking to avoid suffering consecutive league defeats at home for the first time since August 2024.
- Mansfield have won two of their last five league visits to London-based opposition (W2, D1, L2).
Prediction
Despite suffering a tough FA Cup exit against Man City, Orient certainly gave the Premier League champions a tough battle with some excellent counter-attacking so this is a great chances to build on positives and be more clinical.
Mansfield meanwhile are winless in their last six games in all competitions and now sit 10 points off the last play-off spot so a much-improved performance is needed, having dominated Northampton yet lacked a clinical touch amidst defensive errors as are common themes in their last few games.
I however can’t see Orient losing this if they play as well as they did against City but Mansfield will certainly give them a tough battle.
Prediction: Leyton Orient 2-1 Mansfield
