Southend United
Leon Chambers-Parillon has three in six for Southend in the same competition and looks to be their most reliable finisher at the moment.
Tamworth

Betting Insights
- Southend's 6th-placed standing and home advantage makes them the most likely winner in this matchup, although it's always hard to back anyone at 1.48.
- Tamworth have conceded 13 goals on the road in the National League 2026/2027 at an average of 3.25 per match and that won't do them any favours against a confident home side.
Prediction
- Southend United look good value to extend their good start in the National League 2026/2027 by seeing off one of the divisions minnows, Tamworth FC, at Roots Hall.
- Tamworth are compact and physical and they'll set up in a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1 that is happy to play direct, rely on set pieces and cause chaos on second balls.
