Our prediction for this League 2 match:
One Call Stadium will host a postponed League Two game between Mansfield Town and Leyton Orient. The Yellows aim to build on back-to-back wins over Newport and Stevenage, but Tuesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. James Gale limped off with injury at the weekend, with Rhys Oates likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The O’s, on the other hand, have already secured automatic League One promotion, and a triumph over Crewe helped them clinch top position in the standings. The league leaders are eager to put the icing on the cake on a very successful season, but seeing that Mansfield have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, home win should be considered. Charlie Kelman is pushing for a start after sealing the victory against the Railwaymen, with Kieran Sadlier likely to drop to the bench.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Bowery):
Born in Nottingham, England, on July 2, 1991, Jordan Bowery is a professional footballer who plays for Mansfield Town. Bowery played for a number of English clubs, but we should mentioned the notable ones only.
The Mansfield No. 9 was a part of the likes of Aston Villa, Bradford City, Rotherham United, and Crewe Alexandra in the past. Jordan Bowery joined the Yellows in the summer of 2020, signing for the club on a free transfer. He made his Mansfield Town debut in the League two in a goalless draw with Tranmere Rovers on September 12, 2020.
Bowery scored his first goal for the Yellows in a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient on September 19, 2020. Centre-forward is the position that suits him the most, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. His preferred foot is right. Jordan Bowery has never played for the England national team.
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.
Southend United are regarded as the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the A13 derby. 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.
Speaking of the club’s heaviest defeat, Leyton Orient were beaten by Aston Villa 8-0 in the FA Cup round 4 on January 30, 1929. Leyton Orient have four London Challenge Cup trophies (1912, 1972, 1973, and 1993), with the team clinching the Dubonnet Cup title in 1911.
