The visiting Ipswich Town side should be favourites in this visit to Southend United, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their twelve league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Southend United and Ipswich Town.

Southend United form and stats

With 0 League One wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Southend United, who have the most conceded goals (40) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Southend United fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Blackpool game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Southend United fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at Roots Hall: A 1-7 defeat against Doncaster Rovers (placed 6th). 1-1 away at Tranmere Rovers before that.

Southend United were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Southend United here at Roots Hall in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games). This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Southend United have let the opposition score 23 times, an average of more than three per game.

Ipswich Town form and stats

Ipswich Town's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Ipswich Town, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) in League One, collect 16 points from their 7 away matches in the League One. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Rotherham United with 0-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Accrington Stanley wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Ipswich Town are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Ipswich Town as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Southend United 2 wins, 0 draws and Ipswich Town 1 victory. As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 1 game had two or less.
