Prediction Yeovil Town vs Southend United 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Enterprise National League on 15/11/2025

Match preview: Huish Park set for a Southend test

Yeovil Town welcome Southend United to Huish Park Stadium on 15 November in what shapes up as a critical fixture in this Enterprise National League round. Yeovil arrive sitting 18th with a fragile record of six wins from 18 and just 20 points; their recent string of results has been unkind, and the home goal return of nine at Huish Park underlines their struggles in front of goal. Southend, by contrast, sit up in seventh and carry a far healthier goal difference and attacking profile into the weekend. The visitors’ efficiency is clear in the numbers: 27 goals in 17 matches and a much more aggressive shots profile that tells of a side comfortable on the front foot.

Form, numbers and what they tell us

Form lines tell the same story: Yeovil have been hit-or-miss with just three wins in their latest sequence and six defeats to contend with, while Southend have shown a tougher, more consistent edge across a similar window. Southend’s defensive record is superior too — 14 goals conceded all season and eight clean sheets already — and their attacking volume is remarkable compared to Yeovil’s, with nearly 16 shots per match on average against Yeovil’s under 10. Those figures translate into control and opportunities; Southend create more dangerous attacks and force opponents into uncomfortable positions on a regular basis.

Head-to-head temperament adds spice. The most recent meeting finished 2-2, a match that proves Yeovil can find the net against Southend, but consistency is the problem for the home side. Yeovil’s home goals conceded (14) and their lower dangerous attacks average suggest they will be underwork at Huish Park, especially against a Southend unit that likes to press its advantage.

Tactical snapshot and betting context

On paper, this is a classic away-favourite scenario: Southend bring superior shot volume, better defensive stability and more consistency in results. Yeovil will look to make Huish Park a fortress, but recent home returns have been mixed and the visitors’ ability to shut games down — eight clean sheets — cannot be overlooked. Punters should also note both teams have produced BTTS events in recent meetings, so there is room for a competitive fixture even if Southend are pencilled in as favourites.
