Southend United will host Halifax Town in the English National League

Southend United have collected points inconsistently of late, recording two wins, two defeats and a draw. Halifax Town have been more reliable, securing three victories, one draw and one loss.

Bookmakers price the over 3.5 goals market at 47 % (odds 2.11). Given that Southend conceded nine goals and Halifax scored fourteen across their last five fixtures, the likelihood of the total being cleared stands at 52 %.

A home win is quoted at 62 % (1.61), a draw at 25 % (4.00) and an away win at 23 % (4.28). Considering Southend’s four wins in the last five head-to-heads, the probability of a home victory is estimated at 58 %.
