Maidenhead United vs Southend United Match Analysis & Prediction
07/02/2023 10:45 pm
Maidenhead United will be looking to pull further away from the National League relegation zone when they host Southend United on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the visitors are currently occupying the final playoff spot, and they can move up to sixth place with a win here.
After ending a seven-game winless league run with a narrow 2-1 victory over York City, Maidenhead had the chance to secure consecutive wins when they faced Bromley on Saturday.
However, they had to settle for a point after Bromley’s Louis Dennis scored seven minutes from time to cancel out Emile Acquah’s opener.
Following two away matches, Alan Devonshire’s side will return to York Road, where they are winless in three National League games.
They have at least proven to be a tough team to beat in recent home matches, losing just one of their previous five home games in the league, with that solitary defeat taking place against leaders Notts County.
From Southend’s point of view, they will be looking to record a second straight win after they beat York City 2-0 on Saturday through Jack Bridge’s second-half brace.
The result moved them into the playoff spots on goal difference, but they are level on 41 points with three other sides, Bromley, Eastleigh and Wealdstone – who all sit just outside the top seven.
After conceding 24 goals in 27 league matches this season, Southend currently hold the joint-best defensive record in the National League, and they will need to remain resolute if they are to finish in the playoffs this term.
With all of their last four matches across all competitions taking place at home, the Shrimps will play their first away game since New Year’s Day when they face Maidenhead in midweek.
Maidenhead United vs. Southend United Head to head
