Southend United form and stats
Southend United's results here at Roots Hall Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 0 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. With seven 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 Bristol Rovers game long ago, can be stopped today.
Southend are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 271 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by E. Acquah).
Southend shared the glory with Stevenage in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Bolton Wanderers (0-3).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Southend as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Grimsby Town are visiting.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Southend here at Roots Hall Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 7 games). Southend are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (15 from 7 played).
