How will it go by Chris Swift: Bristol Rovers should make a winning start against an Orient side who have had some indifferent pre-season results.

Words of wisdom: "I did my Pro Licence with Lennie Lawrence – and he knows this division inside out," – Orient boss Geraint Williams – the former Rovers player – on the Pirates' director of football.

Just a thought: This is a game that's not usually short on goals. There has only been one 0-0 draw in the last 25 league and cup meetings between the sides.

Fancy a flutter? Rovers are evens favourites with Ladbrokes, while bet365 offer Orient at 3-1 and the draw at 12-5.
