This match has been long awaited by fans of both sides, as it's the first League Two game of the season. Both Southend United and Harrogate Town are looking for a positive start to their campaigns.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Southend United form and stats
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Southend handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, zero draws and three defeats.
Disaster struck Southend last season as they could not defend their status as a League One team. With 24 defeats from 35 games, and only 4 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Southend United are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W2 D4 L11.
Harrogate Town form and stats
