Only a few games have been played in the League Two so far, with Crawley Town placed 4th and Southend United sitting in the 24th position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Crawley Town form and stats

The hosts won their first League Two game here at The People's Pension Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Crawley Town last season were 10 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from 19 games.

Happy days for Crawley in their previous game, a League Two match away at Oldham Athletic (placed 21st) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Scunthorpe United in a game that was won 1-0.

Southend United form and stats

Southend United have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the League Two were 2 victories, 3 draws and 13 defeats from 18 fixtures. Bitter travels for Southend United as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Accrington Stanley match. Recent form does not give Southend much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Crawley Town will be a tough nut to crack.

Southend failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Morecambe (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Carlisle United's place.

Southend are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, six draws and four defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

After this away game Southend United return home for a EFL Trophy game against Portsmouth. That game is only three sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Southend United has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's one Crawley victory, two draws and three Southend United wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
