The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Bolton Wanderers are in the 13th position while the guesting Southend United worry at 24th.
- Southend United has the fewest scored goals (6) in League Two
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 Bolton Wanderers and Southend United.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Bolton Wanderers so far this season.
Happy days for Wanderers in their previous game, a League Two match away at Scunthorpe United (placed 23rd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Stevenage and winning 2-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Bolton Wanderers's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Wanderers here at Macron Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). Bolton Wanderers have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Southend United form and stats
There's been little loot from Southend United's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the League Two. Southend United, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in League Two, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.
The manager M. Molesley was unhappy after their last game, a League Two match played at their home ground Roots Hall Stadium. Southend United suffered a 0-1 loss to Forest Green Rovers (placed 4th). Prior to that result Southend United won their away game at Walsall. The scoreline was 1-0.
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 Southend playing away, we found nine games. Results were one away win, one draw and seven home wins.
Southend are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. As for defending, Southend rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last three meetings: two - one - zero (Wanderers wins - draws - Southend United wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
