FC Halifax Town have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of losses and draws, so they're not in great form. Southend, on the other hand, are playing well - they've won most of their recent games and look confident. When these two have met in the past, the matches have often had plenty of goals, and the results have gone back and forth between them.

Given Southend's stronger recent form and the fact that Halifax have been struggling, Southend look the more likely team to come out on top here.
