- Away run: Southend have not lost in their last 2 away games.
- Away record: Southend are unbeaten away in the National League 2026/2027 (W4, D3).
- Home defence: Wealdstone have conceded 15 goals at home in the National League 2026/2027.
Southend are the clear favorites at 1.58
Performance and standings:
There's a big difference in class between these 2 teams this season, but the difference in their odds is much greater than the difference in their performance merits. Southend United are 3rd in the National League 2026/2027 standings with 28 points from 14 games, while Wealdstone FC are 18th with 15 points from the same amount of games.
Odds:
The Shrimpers come into the game as the clear favourites at 1.58, The Stones are the huge outsiders at 4.42 and the draw is 4.3, so it's obvious that the bookies fancy Southend to walk this one.
Away form:
Southend have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 in their last 5 games, a decent run of results but not a barnstorming one and The Shrimpers' away record is what makes them such clear favourites to win here at Grosvenor Vale.
Southend are undefeated on the road this season with 4 wins and 3 draws from 7 trips. They have conceded just 1.14 goals per match on their travels and average 2.57 goals scored, numbers that are enough to control games and be the aggressor on the front foot.
Wealdstone have been competitive recently
Wealdstone have been in much more competitive form than they have been since the season began. They have won their last 2 and today's away win over Aldershot (1-0) follows on from a 3-0 win over Worthing in their previous outing.
Gary Waddock has brought a pragmatic, flexible shape to Wealdstone, balancing defensive structure with a creative attacking midfielder between the lines. Wealdstone are more of a trigger-based defending side than a possession side, but their recent uptick means that Southend shouldn't expect a walk in the park on Saturday.
Southend have more punch than Wealdstone
The head-to-head record between these 2 sides and Southend's recent away form tells us that The Shrimpers should have enough about them to get the job done on Saturday, but The Stones have won their last 2 and Southend have not won any of their last 2 away games against The Stones , so it may not be a walk in the park for the visitors.
Backing both teams to score at 1.49 looks good here and over 2.5 goals at 1.43 also appeals considering Southend's average away goals scored and Wealdstone's leaky home record.
- Leon Chambers-Parillon has 6 goals in 11 National League 2026/2027 games, making him the top scorer for Southend and one to watch for a goal on Saturday.
- Olufela Olomola leads the way for Wealdstone in the same competition with 4 in 11 and he is the main target in the box.
- Fejiri Okenabirhie has chipped in with 2 of Wealdstone's 6 goals in the last 5 games, so he could provide a real spark to the attack on Saturday.
