Southend can boost play-off hopes

Southend are clinging on to a play-off place in the National League and they can boost their promotion hopes by winning one of their games in hand against mid-table Yeovil.

The visitors have little left to play for as with six games left to play they are nine points clear of the drop zone, and may already have done enough to avoid relegation.

Southend have won 10 of their 19 home games, losing just three, and Yeovil have been poor travellers with 13 defeats in 20 trips.

Unsurprisingly, the Shrimpers are clear favourites to claim a win so the best option for a bit of value is backing Southend to win and concede.

The hosts have just one clean sheet in their last eight home games and the Glovers have scored in four of their last five away games, so a consolation strike looks achievable for the visitors.

Southend aren’t necessarily heavy scorers but they did hit three against title hopefuls Rochdale at Roots Hall recently and could win with a bit of room to spare, so a 3-1 home win is the pick.

Andrew Dallas is Southend’s leading scorer this season and he’s got three goals in his last six games. He stands out as a potential anytime scorer on Tuesday.
