Bitesize Prediction: Boston United vs Southend United – 25/03/25

Competition: National League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 10/11 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an action-packed National League showdown on Tuesday night, Boston United will welcome Southend to Lincolnshire.

Starting with the hosts, watching their purple patch come to a screeching halt over the weekend, Boston United will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, despite eventually slumming to a 4-1 drumming at the hands of Hartlepool on Saturday afternoon, Graham Coughlan’s side have largely impressed over the past month. Breathing life back into their charge for National League safety, the Pilgrims have collected nine points from their previous four appearances. Springing an almighty upset last week as they claimed a dramatic 3-2 victory away at Rochdale, Boston have lost just one of their previous seven National League showdowns. However, last seen in Lincolnshire playing out a dramatic 2-2 stalemate against Woking, Coughlan’s men have struggled to find much stability on home soil. Including a 2-1 defeat against Eastleigh on February 22nd, the former Newport boss has seen his squad register just a sole National League victory in front of their own supporters since the end of November.

As for the visitors, enjoying what has been a sensational rise since opening the New Year, Southend have skyrocketed their way up the National League standings. Getting Tuesday’s trip to Boston underway sat just one-point adrift of breaking into the play-off places, the Shrimpers are unbeaten in all of their previous nine consecutive appearances. Landing another 2-1 win against Altrincham on March 8th, Kevin Maher’s side will also be excited by their rugged success away from Roots Hall. In fact, Southend have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their seven National League showdowns outside of Essex so far this calendar year. However, despite notching at least a pair of goals in all of their last five outings, Tuesday’s guests are desperately seeking some kind of defensive steel. Including a 2-2 draw against Forest Green earlier in the month, Maher’s side have failed to muster a single clean sheet from any of their previous 11 National League appearances.
