Open Play Expected in Southend Cup Meeting
Southend come into the tie after three wins one draw and one defeat in their last five games. Berkhamsted show three wins and one defeat across their recent matches. The visitors have produced three or more goals in two of their three league fixtures. Southend average 2.8 goals scored per game against 1.6 conceded while Berkhamsted record 2.0 scored and 0.8 conceded. Berkhamsted games have also featured both teams scoring in two of three outings. Southend sit as clear favourites yet the goal trends on both sides suggest an open contest ahead. Whether Berkhamsted can break down the home defence will shape if the scoreline climbs quickly.
