View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS has landed in 83% of Boston United matches and 100% of Southend United matches, well above the league average of 64%. Both teams have scored in every match they have played so far, and Southend have yet to keep a clean sheet, strongly supporting the prospect of goals at both ends. Boston average 2.17 goals scored, while Southend average 2.67; they also concede 1.83 and 1.17 goals per match, respectively. Boston have averaged just 1.0 goal per game across their last five matches, which is the main risk to this selection, but Southend conceded an average of 1.6 goals over the same period. Therefore, it is more likely that both teams will find the net than that either side will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Boston United matches averaged 4.00 goals, while Southend United matches averaged 3.84—both well above the league average of 3.08. The Over 1.5 goals line landed in 83% of the home side’s matches and 100% of the visitors’ matches, making it the strongest indicator. Both teams scored in every match included in the analysis, and Southend kept no clean sheets, further supporting at least two goals. In their last five matches, Southend averaged 3.0 goals scored, while Boston conceded 2.0 per game. However, Boston’s lower scoring average of 1.0 over that period limits confidence in higher goal lines.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Southend has the stronger signal for taking the lead at the break: in its last five matches, it was ahead at half-time three times, scoring an average of 1.8 goals in the first half, while Boston conceded an average of 1.0 goal over that period. The visitors have also won three of their last five matches, compared with just one win for the hosts, which supports the case for them maintaining their advantage through to the final whistle. After the break, Southend has recently averaged 1.2 goals, compared with Boston’s 0.4, making 2/2 the most likely HT/FT outcome. The risk of a draw remains significant, as Southend drew 50% of its matches across the full available sample, while Boston’s higher xG—1.99 compared with the visitors’ 1.54—indicates that the hosts are capable of creating chances.
