What to expect
We expect about 1.9 goals from Southend and 1.1 from Halifax, so Southend come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Southend come into this on three straight wins. Halifax come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Halifax to score. This is about Halifax's goals alone, not the game's total. We make them around 1.1 on the day, and the bet needs them to find the net, which we make about 68%.
We put the chance of that landing at about 68 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.41, which works out at about 71 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
