History of the Southend United v Aldershot Town fixture
Southend United prepare to entertain Aldershot Town at Roots Hall on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Shrimpers are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 7 of the 43 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Roots Hall was less than a year ago, in April 2011, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Southend United, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw
