Prediction: 1-1
Newport County
Despite recording back-to-back wins over Leyton Orient and Barrow, Southend United eventually failed to secure the League Two survival. The Seasiders have little to play for in the last game of the season, but their pride will surely be at stake. Fit-again Senegal defender Timothee Dieng is likely to play some part in Saturday’s football match. The Exiles, on the other hand, are one point away from securing their spot in the playoffs.
Considering that Southend United should be happy with one point from the match as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous five meetings in all competitions, and yet another low-scoring game is on the horizon. In the first half of the season Southend defeated Newport thanks to Tom Clifford’s goal.
