Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Southend United & Dorking Wanderers face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Dorking Wanderers played their last game only four days ago, a Vanarama National League South match. That game was also an away game, at Oxford City. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Southend United form and stats
With 2 Vanarama National League wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Southend United are certainly not brimming with confidence.
In their previous game, the manager Maher led his Southend to a defeat in the Vanarama National League match away at Notts County. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Roots Hall Stadium.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Maidenhead United that ended 1-1.Southend are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Dorking Wanderers form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Worthing in order to reach 3rd round of Fa Trophy. They also participated in Fa Trophy last season. This ended in the 4th round.It's the second away game in a row for Dorking Wanderers, but there's smiles all around after the 4-2 victory versus Oxford City in the Vanarama National League South last time out. A crazy, crazy game with heaps of goals last time out for Wanderers, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that entertaining match, will this match be as exciting?
Before that, Dorking Wanderers secured a home win against Welling United with the score 3-1.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wanderers playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
