Prediction: 2-1
Southend
After sharing the spoils with Walsall on Wednesday evening, Stevenage will be aiming to start a new winning run in League Two when they host Southend United at their Broadhall Way. The Boro did well to beat Port Vale in their last home game in the English fourth tier, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Southend. Stevenage will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the rock-bottom side.
The Seasiders are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only five points in total in the process, and it is no wonder they are seen as big underdogs in Saturday’s clash. Southend experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Bolton, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home side.
