Bury dropped out of the automatic promotion places in Sky Bet League 2 after a 5-0 defeat at Shrewsbury in midweek. 

The Shakers are 7/4 to bounce back with three points at Southend but they have been inconsistent of late with a record of three wins and three defeats from their last six matches. 

Southend are the 6/4 favourites to win on Saturday and the draw is available at 23/10. The Shrimpers are without a victory in four matches on the back of a four-game winning run. 

There have been under 2.5 goals in all of Southend’s home league contests this season so this could again be a tight encounter.

Do you fancy David Worrall to bag against his former side? The midfielder is priced at 14/1 to bag first at Roots Hall against the side where he started his career.

 

Top tip: Under 2.5 goals at 8/11
