Southend United host Carlisle United at Roots Hall, Southend-on-Sea, Essex on Saturday, Mar 20 at 1:30 PM in the National League.
Southend United come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 0L recently). Carlisle United travel in mixed form (1W 1D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Southend United face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Carlisle United have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Southend United a slight edge, but Carlisle United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
