Bet Live on Football: Southend United vs. Oxford United

Southend United's Roots Hall stadium sees the home team host Oxford United for the Sky Bet League Two game week 39 today. Southend is positioned ninth in the league's table with 53 points composed of 13 wins, 14 draws and 11 loses, while Oxford is sitting ahead at the sixth position with 69 points composed of 15 wins, 14 draws and 9 loses. On paper, the gap isn't that big, and Southend will do well to use their home advantage here tonight and keep the three points at Roots Hall.

But that won't be so easy, seeing that Oxford will be headed by a new man in charge, Gary Waddock who was just recently appointed to serve as the team's manager, stepping in for Mickey Lewis who served as caretaker so far. Waddock will try to make a good first impression, continuing after the team's 1-0 home win over Hartlepool last Friday, with the help of striker David Connolly's header from a free-kick.

Southend last game was a goalless draw against Bristol Rovers. The team hasn't won a game in the Sky Bet League in over 10 matches, and although they have the home advantage today, nothing comes to show that'll aid them in putting a stop to the drought. What's certain is that they certainly will try to put an end to it.
