Worthing come into this one licking their wounds after a heavy defeat last time out, and their recent run has been a bit up and down with a couple of wins, a draw and some losses mixed in. Southend, on the other hand, are in much better spirits with several wins in their last few games and only one defeat, so they look the sharper side of the two right now.

There's nothing to go on from previous meetings between these clubs, so it's hard to say if this one will be packed with goals. Worthing have been finding the net less often while Southend have looked more dangerous going forward, which points to a fairly even contest but with Southend edging it. On balance, this looks like a close match that could go either way, but Southend's recent form gives them the slight upper hand.
