Southend vs Eastleigh Predictions

• Southend have conceded in each of their last five games
• The hosts are conceding two goals per home game this term
• Eastleigh have seen both teams score in five of their last six

Southend spiralling

Southend’s attempt to return to the EFL is going disastrously, with the club third-bottom in the National League thanks to a torrid start. They’ve lost their last four, failing to win any of their last seven.

Eastleigh have lost only once in their last six, so we’re backing them to take something from this trip. They should expect to punish this leaky Southend defence, with the hosts conceding two goals per game on their own patch.

However, Eastleigh are also shipping two goals per away game heading into this clash. The visitors have at least been scoring to cancel out their issues at the back, with BTTS landing in five of their last six.

Back more goals to be shared between the two this weekend, while a 2-2 draw is my correct score prediction given how frequently the pair concede.
