Recent respective form guides
Southend United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Shrimpers have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the O's have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Southend are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 13 matches. Leyton Orient are currently lying in 19th place in Nationwide League Division Three having mustered a points tally of 13 from their 13 matches played.
