Wealdstone
- A 6-0 home defeat to Yeovil and a 1-0 away win over Aldershot today make up Wealdstone's recent results, but the Stones are actually on a two-game winning streak, with a 3-0 win over Worthing and a 1-0 win over the same Aldershot having confidence high coming into this one.
- Wealdstone have conceded 15 goals at home in the National League 2026/2027.
Southend United
- National League third-placed Southend United head to Grosvenor Vale on Saturday to take on Wealdstone FC in a match-up of two sides that could hardly have come from more different places.
- The Shrimpers have won four and drawn three of their seven away games in the National League 2026/2027, conceding just 1.14 goals per match on average and scoring 2.57 goals.
Head-to-Head
- Southend also won the last head-to-head meeting 4-2 in the FA Trophy 2025/2026 and have taken the last two meetings overall.
- But with the visitors not having won either of their last two away games at Wealdstone, the hosts might have the home-field advantage in this one.
Key Players
-
Players to watch:
- Wealdstone have scored six goals in their last five, two of which have come from Fejiri Okenabirhie, which looks like a timely boost to their attack.
- Olufela Olomola is their current top scorer in the National League 2026/2027 with four goals in 11 appearances, but he's their top penalty-box threat.
- Leon Chambers-Parillon is Southend's top scorer with six goals in 11 games and he's the man to watch for a goal.
Betting Insights
- Southend are the clear favourites in this matchup at 1.58, but Wealdstone are quite large at 4.42 with the draw at 4.3.
- Both teams to score looks a bit live at 1.49, but we're going for over 2.5 goals at 1.43 as we think Southend have the quality to push Wealdstone back in the second half and their away form suggests they can control the pace of the game.
Prediction
- The visitors are in good form, have the better league position and are better away from home, so we'll side with Kieron Dyer's men.
- This matchup has Wealdstone's compactness against Southend's ball-playing width and a bit more tempo, so the midfield battle should decide how much control The Shrimpers get.
