Insights:
  • Southend United have the fewest scored goals (24) in League Two

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 (24) in League Two, have only managed 4 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses from their games here at Roots Hall. With ten home League Two games in a row without a win, the Southend fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Barrow game long ago, can be stopped today.

Southend United haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 252 minutes ago. T. Dieng scored that one. Nothing to worry about in defence for Southend, as their goalkeeper Mark Oxley has completely shut out the opponents for 214 minutes in the League Two.

In their previous game, the manager P. Brown led his Southend United to a defeat in the League Two match away at Colchester United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Roots Hall. 0-0 away at Exeter City before that.

Southend United have scored 13 league goals here from 21 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Southend United have conceded 27 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
