General match analysis
Southend United sit 2nd and remain unbeaten in their last 5 matches, recording 3 wins and 2 draws, while Woking have lost 3 of their last 5 games. The visitors are significantly more effective away from home, averaging 3 goals per match with a 22% conversion rate, whereas the hosts concede as many as 2.5 goals per home game. Southend also create more danger in front of goal, averaging 6 shots on target compared with Woking’s 3, and enjoy more possession, 60% to 54%. Woking do have a respectable home xG average of 1.47, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any home match and have failed to score in 50% of those fixtures. The advantage in form, attacking efficiency and away results points to a Southend United victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Southend United show very strong attacking potential: they score an average of 3.0 goals, register 6.0 shots on target per match and convert 22% of their attempts. Woking have gone through a weaker defensive period, conceding an average of 1.6 goals across their last five matches, while their opponents created chances worth 1.14 xG. The hosts should nevertheless have a realistic chance of scoring, as their average home xG stands at 1.93, alongside 7.0 shots on target, while Southend have failed to keep a clean sheet in their away matches so far. The signals are not conclusive, as Woking's BTTS rate is only 20% across their last five matches, but Southend's stands at 60%, compared with a league average of 61%. Therefore, BTTS - Yes is marginally more likely, meaning both teams are expected to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
In their last five matches, Woking averaged 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded, while Southend scored 1.6 goals per game and conceded just 0.6. The attacking potential of both sides is supported by their average xG figures over the last five matches: 1.29 for Woking and 1.34 for Southend, pointing to a forecast of approximately 2.65 total goals. Southend averages 13.5 shots and 6 shots on target, while Woking has allowed opponents to score 1.6 goals per game in their current run of form. The Over 1.5 goals line has a clear edge, as even a more cautious scenario requires only two goals, while the league averages 3.14 goals per match.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is Southend United leading at the break and securing the win, as the visitors have not lost any of their last five matches, averaging 2.2 points per game compared with Woking’s 1.2. Southend were ahead at half-time in 40% of those matches and were never trailing at the break, while Woking were behind after 45 minutes in 40% of cases. The visitors’ advantage is also evident defensively: they have conceded an average of 0.6 goals per game across their last five matches, compared with 1.6 for the hosts. Woking scored just 0.2 goals per game before half-time, whereas Southend averaged 1.0, increasing the likelihood of the visitors establishing an early lead. The hosts tend to respond more effectively after the interval, scoring an average of 1.0 goals in the second half, so a draw at half-time followed by an away win remains a significant alternative. However, the 2/2 HT/FT outcome is most strongly supported by the current form of both teams.
