Recent respective form guides

Leeds United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Whites have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Southend Utd. is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Shrimpers have hit 5 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leeds Utd. are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 74 points from 40 games. Southend Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 38 points from their 40 games thus far.
