Southend United form and stats

Southend United, who have the most conceded goals (84) in League One, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-3-13 (18 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Southend United who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Lincoln City was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Southend United's last three away games as they have all been lost.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Burton Albion with 2-3 on the scoreboard. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Gillingham.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Southend United we find one game. Results are zero Southend United wins, zero draws and one defeat.

The visiting Southend United have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 21 goals from 18 games. Southend United have conceded 43 goals in these games.
