History of the Yeovil Town v Southend United fixture

Southend Utd. face a trip to Yeovil Town at Huish Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 2 wins from the previous 6 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 3 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Yeovil Town will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Glovers have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Southend Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Shrimpers have hit 9 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Yeovil Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 7 points from their 8 games thus far. Southend Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 13 from their 8 games so far.
