Eastleigh form and stats

7 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Eastleigh have to build on here at Silverlake Stadium in the National League.

Stress levels are on the rise for Eastleigh's attacking players as they have now played 281 minutes without scoring in a league game. Hill was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager Bristow led his Eastleigh to a defeat away at Notts County. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Silverlake Stadium.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Weymouth (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Eastleigh perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Eastleigh as a small favourite), we find nine games. Eastleigh has won four of these, drawn five and lost zero.

The manager Bristow will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Boreham Wood in only four days.

A decent goal production from Eastleigh in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 14 league matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Southend United form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the National League. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Southend United hope to make it five in this match.

Two trips in a row for Southend, whose manager Maher could celebrate last time after the win against Woking.

Before that, Southend United secured a home win against Bromley with the score 2-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Southend United in our archives, and the results are: one win for Southend United, three draws and two defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Southend are hosting Solihull Moors in the National League only four days away.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Southend United have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
