Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Leyton Orient
Match Time & Date:

10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Mansfield
Leyton Orient will look to keep their 100% record in the 2022/2023 League Two season intact when they take on Mansfield Town on Saturday afternoon. The O’s made a promising start to the season, but they head into the match following the EFL Cup defeat to Forest Green. Head coach Richie Wellens rested several first-team regulars in the midweek loss, but he is going to field the best possible side against Mansfield. Centre-forward Charlie Kelman returns to the starting XI, as well as Scotland winger Theodore Archibald.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to recover from the EFL Cup defeat to Derby County. Since Mansfield have been playing some low-scoring games of late as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Nathaniel Bowery’s suspension is yet another reason for this betting option.
