Competition: National League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Two National League outfits who find themselves enjoying real purple patches of late, Southend will host a high-flying Bromley on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, dropping down to the National League last summer and in the midst of a real nightmare, few would have expected what has been a stunning comeback from Southend. Keeping the mood in their camp at a continued high over the weekend and landing a 2-1 win at home against Barnet, the Shrimpers will be desperate to lay down another marker here. Finding an immediate boost since bringing in new boss Kevin Maher, the Essex-based outfit have skyrocketed their way up the table. Knowing that another victory in midweek could see them move within touching distance of the top-half. Southend have now lost just one of their last nine matchups across all formats, a run that stems back to December 11th. Likewise, it should be noted that the Blues have won their last four straight home fixtures by a 2-1 scoreline.

As for the visitors, last seen signing off January with an eye-catching 1-0 win at home against Notts County, Bromley find themselves enjoying another storming run. Sat in pole position to land another play-off spot this season and making the trip to Essex sat fourth in the National League table. In fact, including victories against Aldershot and Solihull Moors, Andy Woodman’s men have won each of their last five fifth-tier showdowns on the spin. With some in their camp dreaming of a late charge for top-spot, Bromely should also be boosted by their continued success outside of the capital. Last seen on their travels picking up a 2-1 win away at Grimsby, Bromley have taken 12 points from their last five National League meetings on the road. In a contest that could see chances at both ends of the pitch, we’re backing a lively affair here.
