Recent respective form guides

Southend United will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. The Shrimpers's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Carlisle Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Cumbrians have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Southend Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 33 points from their 35 games thus far. Carlisle Utd.'s 47 points from 37 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
