Southend United vs Oldham Athletic: Top Free Betting Tips

Southend have not yet won a match in the new season while Oldham have also had their problems. Here are our predictions for the round.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Oldham definitely can score goals but there is something about Southend that suggests we will be seeing a lot of under 2.5 games this season. Overall, the team has serious issues in attack – they managed to score a single goal in the first three games of the season. Their defense seems to be doing alright and they conceded only two. Oldham scored 4 goals in 2 games over the past week but both were home games. On the road in round one, they had a 0:0 draw.

Match Result – Draw

As mentioned above, Oldham had problems in the first round on the road and we think that Southend might be a harder opponent than expected. Curiously, the home team is the favorite here but we see two completely equal teams and we believe that this will be a draw. Southend definitely have problems when it comes to scoring goals but their defense is not that bad and they might not concede a goal here at all. The 0:0 draw is a big possibility.

Correct Score – 0:0

We do not expect to see goals from both sides in this game and generally, we believe in the possibility of a completely goalless match and a 0:0 draw. Southend had that same result in their previous game and generally, they have not yet had a game with more than 1:1. Oldham definitely know how to score at home but their away performance has been as shady as the previous season in the upper division.

Southend Preview

Southend are actually stronger than their results suggest and the team has a lot of potential. We saw their performances against two of the expected contenders in the league already and they at least reached a draw. Oldham are another team that should be fighting for the playoffs and they might underestimate Southend. We do not expect the hosts to be a contender this season but definitely a team that can be trouble for most other sides.

Oldham Preview

Oldham had all the chances to remain in League Two last season but they failed and will have to climb up again. The team had just 9 wins in 46 rounds last season and a goal difference of 46:75, which was terrible. Their attack should be able to handle the defenses in the National League but unless they improve defensively, they will not have a chance against the better teams in the league.
