📰 Team News: Southend United

There is just a single fitness concern for the Southend United gaffer Kevin Maher to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. James Golding (Calf injury) will miss out.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Boreham Wood might need a bit of good fortune to break down this Southend United team who we reckon should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Southend United at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see what happens.
