Game week two of the League Two season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Leyton Orient - Mansfield Town preview:

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Carabao Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Plymouth Argyle, was also a home game here at The H2T Group Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Leyton Orient form and stats

A nice win for Leyton Orient last time playing, versus Plymouth Argyle. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Louis Dennis, Danny Johnson and Jobi McAnuff scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Oldham Athletic.

The game against Plymouth Argyle had lots of late drama as Leyton Orient came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Danny Johnson's goal in the 90th minute. Leyton goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux did an outstanding job against Plymouth Argyle with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory. The victory against Plymouth Argyle came after Danny Johnson's winning goal. The Leyton manager R. Embleton was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 75th minute. A late climax in the match against Plymouth Argyle as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Danny Johnson.

This is expected to be a close game, with Leyton Orient perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leyton Orient as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Leyton Orient has won six of these, drawn three and lost two.

Last season, Leyton Orient's league statistics were 10 wins, 12 draws and 14 losses, resulting in a 17th position in the League Two. Over these 36 matches they scored 47 goals and conceded 55. Playing at home last season Leyton Orient managed 5-8-6 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 30 conceded.
