History of the Leeds United v Southend United fixture

Leeds prepare to entertain Southend United at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. The Whites lost the only previous game contested between the two teams.

The only previous meeting between Leeds and Southend was on Tuesday night, as the visitors ran out easy 1-3 winners in a League Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Leeds' home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While the Whites have scored 8, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Southend's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Leeds are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 10 points from their 13 games thus far. Southend are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship also with a return of just 10 points from their 13 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

It has been a distinctly poor show from Leeds at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Whites will at least gain a draw. Score draw
