On Tuesday evening, Southend United host Forest Green Rovers at Roots Hall. The troubled home team have only managed to score 0.50 goals per game on average while the visitors have conceded on average 1.00 goals per game. I believe there's some value to be found in betting against the hosts scoring goals.
