Prediction: 2-1
Mansfield
Leyton Orient will try to recover from the FA Cup loss to Man City when they take on Mansfield Town on Matchday 16. The O’s showed character in the defeat to the Premier League giants, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Tuesday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but veteran midfielder Darren Pratley could sneak into the starting XI.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are on a six-game losing run in all competitions. As Mansfield are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Leyton, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. January signing Caylan Vickers should keep his place in Mansfield’s starting XI as well Lucas Akins. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts, who seem to be in a much better form than the visitors.
Highlighted Team (Leyton Orient):
Leyton Orient are the League Two side that welcome their rivals at Brisbane Road. The stadium, which was built and opened in 1937, can hold up to 9,271 people. When playing at Brisbane Road, the O’s wear red shirts and red shorts, while the colour of their away kit is blue.

Leyton Orient have the rivalries with the likes of West Ham United, Millwall, Brentford, Dag & Red, and Barnet as well. The O’s registered their biggest win on November 12, 1955 as they crushed Crystal Palace 8-0.
