Match result prediction – Southend to win
In the first Southend vs York prediction, we have settled on a home win. Southend's win probability in this game is at least 63% with odds of 1.60. The hosts lost the reverse fixture, a game in which they had two red cards. But when you consider recent stats this promises to be a difficult game noting that both teams sit back-to-back at positions 17 and 18 respectively. The home side have a massive advantage ahead of the duel.
Team to score prediction – Both teams to score
In another Southend vs York prediction, our tip is on the team to score. The fact that these teams sit back-to-back and have had a shaky defence means we could see goals on both ends of the pitch. The second prediction is contrary to what we saw in the last five meetings during which there were goals on only one end of the pitch.
Correct score prediction – 2-1 to Southend
In the final Southend vs York prediction, we have settled on a 2-1 Southend win. The visitors have a win probability of at least 21% with odds of 4.75, so despite having a better form as well as a scoring run, we think a narrow 2-1 Southend victory is very likely in this encounter. Southend are ranked 7th in home performance while York are 14th on the road so far.
