Maidenhead vs Southend tips and predictions

Visitors odds don't appeal

If they push the envelope a result here could be within Maidenhead's capabilities.

Maidenhead will be desperate for evidence that they can add another L to the Southend's recent results. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 2 losses from their last 3 away assignments. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for Maidenhead but they're certainly not a tap-in and a home win is a reasonable shout.

The Magpies need to unleash their best form to pull out a result. The hosts have had some excellent spells in previous performances. They have scored two or more goals in 9 of their recent 13 matches and that's been backed up from one to eleven. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 12 of their last 14 home games.

Away from home Southend have conceded two or more goals in 2 of their last 3 matches. Some of those issues have crept into performances at the other end of the pitch. The Shrimpers have only scored once in their last 3 away games.

Pulling off the win might be a stretch but they can get something here even if it's just a draw. If Southend stamp their authority on the match they are likely to keep things tight at the back. It isn't a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.
