Southend United Prepares Ahead of the Game
Woking travel to Essex to face Southend United on Wednesday 25 March. Kick-off at Roots Hall is set for 19:45 in the Enterprise National League.
The Cards arrive in good form. Their unbeaten run reached six games at the weekend. A derby victory over Aldershot Town completed a league double against their rivals.
Current momentum
Woking have now won three matches in succession. They will aim to make it a fourth straight league win on Wednesday. The reverse fixture, on 5 November, finished level after Southend scored in injury time.
Both league meetings between the clubs last season also ended in draws. The most recent Roots Hall encounter finished 2-2. Okoli opened the scoring early, while Beautyman struck in the 68th minute.
Southend United prepares ahead of the game
Southend arrive off the back of a 1-0 defeat at Altrincham. That loss ended their unbeaten run in March and cost them a place in the final play-off spot.
Halifax Town moved into seventh after beating Solihull Moors. The Shrimpers and Halifax start the week separated by one point.
Home form and cup ambitions
Kevin Maher’s side have lost just two of their last ten league games at Roots Hall. Both defeats came against teams inside the play-off places.
Southend are also in the FA Trophy semi-finals. They will face Southport later this month for a place at Wembley.
Key additions and players to watch
Millwall’s Alfie Massey has joined Southend on loan. He previously played for Wealdstone, making ten appearances and scoring twice.
Andy Dallas, on a season-long loan from Barnsley, has been the Shrimpers’ main goalscorer. He has 13 goals this season and has scored three times in March.
Match information
The game kicks off at 19:45 on Wednesday 25 March at Roots Hall. Tickets remain available for supporters travelling to Essex.
