Southend
- Southend have won four of their last five games in all competitions and come into this game on the back of a three-match winning streak.
- Southend United are unbeaten in National League 2026-2027 and have been playing some of their best soccer under head coach Kieron Dyer, who was appointed on 1 July 2026.
- Dyer has got his team set up with a front-foot, attacking style that is giving them plenty of joy and Southend look the sharper side overall of the two right now with seven wins, two draws and one defeat from their last ten in all competitions.
Kidderminster
- Kidderminster have won three of their last five in all competitions (D1, L1) and appear in good shape ahead of this trip.
- Kidderminster have also performed well in the National League so far with three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five.
- They've won three and lost two of their five away matches in all competitions so the Harriers should not be taken lightly here, but the hosts are the clear 1.44 favourites with Kidderminster a massive 6.22 and the draw at 4.1.
Key Players
Josh Popoola is the main goal threat for Southend in this division, having scored twice in three games to lead their scoring charts.
Betting Insights
Under 2.5 goals at 2.15 also appeals in case Wotton's men keep it tight for long periods.
Prediction
- We agree with the bookmakers on that as Southend look the team most likely to nick this game.
- The style clash should have an effect on this contest with Southend's 3-5-2 formation looking to overload the wide channels with their wing-backs, while Kidderminster's likely 4-2-3-1 should try to stay compact and hit in measured transitions.
- The half-spaces and wide areas are where the game will be won and the home side has the intensity to drag Kidderminster out of shape and grab a win.
