Leyton Orient head coach Richie Wellens does not expect their pre-season friendly with Charlton to have much bearing on their opening League One fixture three weeks later.
O’s meet their London rivals in Marbella on Friday (10am BST), having started preparations with a goalless draw at Billericay Town.
And the clubs meet again on August 5, when three points will be on offer over the course of the 90 minutes at The Valley.
“It won’t have any bearings on the first game of the season, the atmosphere, the intensity, everything about it will be totally different,” Wellens told the club website.
