Tuesday 24th February 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)
Southend United made it eight goals in their last two games in the National League over the weekend when The Shrimps registered a convincing 3-0 win away from home at Brackley Town which followed on from a previous comprehensive 5-1 home win against National League strugglers Morecambe.
The bigger picture shows Southend United have slipped to just two defeats within their previous 11 matches in all competitions whilst the hosts have also picked up seven wins in the process as well.
The Shrimps currently occupy 7th place in the National League standings where they hold a slender one-point cushion above 8th placed Halifax so Kevin Maher’s side will be desperate to maintain the last of the play-off spots with a victory at Roots Hall on Tuesday night.
Boreham Wood extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches on the weekend with points shared in a 1-1 draw at home with Forest Green Rovers which helped maintain the visitors’ place in the play-off pack.
However, the bigger picture shows Boreham Wood have managed just one win from their last seven matches in the National League which came in the form of a 3-2 home win against Yeovil Town but also includes being dealt four defeats as well.
Losses at the hands of Scunthorpe United, Altrincham, Boston United and Rochdale in recent times suggest the visitors may well have their work cut out if they are to get anything out of a solidly performing Southend United outfit on Tuesday night.
The Betting Verdict
Southend United have won their last two meetings at home on the trot against Boreham Wood.
The Pick :
Southend Utd 2-1 Boreham Wood
