Recent respective form guides
Brighton & Hove Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Seagulls have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Southend Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Shrimpers's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Brighton & HA are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 32 points from their 33 games thus far. Southend Utd.'s 49 points from 35 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
