Preview: Dorking Wanderers vs. Southend United - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's National League clash between Dorking Wanderers and Southend United, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Dorking Wanderers will have the chance to claim consecutive victories when they play host to Southend United in the National League on Tuesday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be desperate to return to winning ways after losing their last six matches.


Match preview

After winning promotion to the fifth tier for the first time in their history last term, Dorking are currently in a battle to retain their place in the National League.

Dorking bounced back from consecutive defeats to beat Maidenhead United 3-1 on Saturday thanks to a Jason Prior brace and a Josh Taylor strike.

As a result of the victory, Dorking moved up one place to 19th position, leaving them three points above the relegation zone.

After extending their unbeaten home run to four games at the weekend, Marc White's side will be looking forward to another game at Meadowbank on Tuesday.

Having picked up 31 of their 40 points from home matches, Dorking's final four home games could prove pivotal in their bid to remain in the National League.

While the hosts will be buoyed by Saturday's victory, Southend will have to pick themselves up from a sixth consecutive defeat.

Their weekend away meeting with Altrincham was goalless until Nathan Ralph was penalised for a foul in the box, presenting Regan Linney with the chance to score from the penalty spot, condemning the Shrimps to a narrow 1-0 defeat.

With nine points separating them from the top seven, Southend are set to remain in the fifth tier for a third consecutive season.

If Southend are to pick up points between now and the end of the campaign, they will need to improve in the final third, after failing to score in four of their last six matches.

The Shrimps can draw inspiration from the fact that they have won both of their competitive meetings with Dorking, including a 2-0 victory when the two sides met in November.

Team News

Dorking are expected to be without the services of Matt Briggs, Nicky Wheeler, Niall McManus and Alfie Egan due to injury issues.

Aaron Kuhl made his competitive debut as a substitute on Saturday, but he may have to settle for a place on the bench once again, with White set to name an unchanged lineup.

As for the visitors, Noor Husin has been ruled out of the last two games with an ankle injury, and he is expected to remain unavailable for Tuesday's contest.

Jake Hyde returned from a spell on the sidelines to feature as a late substitute against Altrincham, and he may have to be content with a role off the bench on Tuesday as Southend manage his comeback from injury.

Dorking Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Lincoln; Francomb, Craig, Cook; Muitt, Gallagher, Moore, Taylor, Bowerman; McShane, Prior

Southend United possible starting lineup:
Arnold; Scott-Morriss, Hobson, Kensdale, Ralph; Mooney, Miley, Fonguck, Bridge; Murphy, Cardwell


SM words green background

We say: Dorking Wanderers 1-1 Southend United

Southend have won both of their previous two meetings with Dorking, but after losing their last six matches, we think that they may be content with picking up a point from Tuesday's fixture.
