Southend v Colchester
Result: Southend 0:3 Colchester
Coca-Cola League Championship: k.o. Apr 06 Fri 12:30Good Friday For Southend?
Southend United's hopes of avoiding relegation from the Championship face a major test with Friday's local derby at home to Colchester United.
The visitors have been one of the surprise packages of the season, although their strong showing is almost entirely due to their excellent home form.
Although Colchester still retain an outside hope of making the play-offs, this game is of far more importance to The Shrimpers. The home side will also be looking to gain revenge for a 3:0 defeat at Layer Road earlier in the season, a game in which they had two players red-carded.
The 13-10 available with Portlandbet on the home win looks to be a price worth taking.
