Southend come into this one in good form, having won three of their last five matches, though they did lose one along the way. Boreham Wood have been up and down — they've won two and lost three of their recent games, so they're a bit less steady right now. When these two have met before, the games have often been tight and low-scoring, with several ending one-nil or one-all, though one meeting did produce a lot of goals.

Overall, this looks like a close match between two teams who don't usually blow each other away. Southend seem to have the slight edge in recent play, so my call is a narrow Southend win.
