The visiting Forest Green Rovers side should be favourites in this visit to Southend United, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
Forest Green Rovers could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a League Two game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Barrow. 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
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League Two this season. Southend United, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in League Two, have only managed 0 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from their games here at Roots Hall Stadium. With Southend having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager M. Molesley.
A strong away win for Southend against Walsall the last match, as Emile Acauah were on target. Heartbreak before that as Southend lost 1-6 at Colchester United's place.
Manager M. Molesley felt very clever after Emile Acauah scored the winning goal against Walsall, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 65th minute.
There will be little rest for Southend after this match as they are travelling to Bolton Wanderers for a League Two game in only four days.
Southend aren't scoring a lot here at Roots Hall Stadium in the league, with only 4 goals from 6 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Southend United with 14 goals conceded in these matches.
