Tuesday 22nd November 2016 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Ninth placed Southend United will be looking to take advantage of Swindon Town’s recent poor form when they play host to the west country outfit at Roots Hall in League One on Tuesday night.
Southend are currently enjoying a strong run of form which has seen The Shrimps unbeaten in their last six matches overall including recent back-to-back wins over Bury 4-1 away from home and Saturday’s 3-0 home win over fourth placed Bradford City.
The hosts possess a reasonable home record which stands at 4-3-2 13/10 and this includes being unbeaten on home turf from their last six matches with recent victories gained over Oxford United, Chesterfield and Bradford City.
Visitors Swindon Town currently occupy one league place above the bottom four in League One and are just one point above the relegation zone heading into Tuesday night’s tough trip to Southend United who have hit a good run of form of late.
Although Swindon Town have won their last two matches at their County Ground against Rochdale and Charlton Athletic respectively, The Robins have lost three of their last four matches overall with defeats suffered against Walsall, Scunthorpe United and Rochdale.
On the road, Swindon have managed just the one win on their travels so far this season which was a 2-0 win at relegation-threatened Oldham Athletic, but overall The Robins have struggled to make an impact away from home to date this term which is reflected in their away record of 1-4-4 8/17.
In addition, Swindon have kept just two clean sheets on their travels to date and this could be another occasion where they fail to record a shut-out.
Pick: Southend United AH-0.25 @ 1.81 Bet Victor
