League One is back in action, with Leyton Orient hosting Blackpool in a situation where both sides still need points to climb out of the lower half of the table. The hosts sit 13th, while the visitors are 18th and not far behind. Leyton Orient's most recent game ended in a goalless draw, while Blackpool have just lost at home by a single goal. The visitors have not won in several matches in a row, and their defence is a clear problem when you look at the number of goals conceded over the course of the season. The hosts themselves are not in a mood to blow anyone away, but they concede noticeably fewer goals than their opponents. This game should be a back-and-forth affair in which the hosts see a little more of the ball, but Blackpool will keep offering chances on the counter. The first thing to watch after kick-off is whether the hosts can press their way to the opening goal, because if the game drags on, the visitors will increasingly get to play the way they like.
