Southend vs Sheffield United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

The ultra-in-form Sheffield United take on a Southend team who’re in strong form themselves. The visitors have won five on the spin and are the new league leaders, while Southend are unbeaten in their last ten matches (all-competitions). This could prove to be a really tough test for the team who currently sit top of the division.

Instead of siding with either team in a fixture that looks really tough to call, the bet to go for is ‘Both Teams to Score’ at odds of 10/11. Both have shown themselves to be more than useful attacking units in recent weeks and such form could continue here.

Southend come into this match having not lost in any of their last 13 home matches in all-competitions, such has been their form at Roots Hall. They’ve scored in every one of those, scoring 23 goals in total. On top of this, the hosts have failed to score in front of a home crowd on just one occasion in the league this season.

Sheffield United are another team who’ve enjoyed themselves in front of goal this season, especially of late. The hosts have scored 25 goals on the road, failing to score on just one occasion. In addition, the visitors have scored in each of their last ten away matches, nine of which saw both teams find the net.

The BTTS record for both in their respective home and away matches this season also bodes very well ahead of this one. In a fixture where picking the winner is no easy task, backing ‘Both Teams to Score’ is the way to play it.
