Southend - Aldershot

Saturday 14 November 2026 marks a National League encounter at Roots Hall as Southend United host Aldershot Town for matchday 17. The hosts have enjoyed recent success in this fixture, having secured a 2-0 victory when the sides last met in the National League on 14 April 2026. Both teams are looking to establish consistency as the season progresses, with Southend United aiming to regain the momentum that saw them defeat Boston United 2-1 in October before a recent dip in form.

Aldershot Town arrive at Roots Hall following a difficult outing in the FA Cup, though they remain focused on their league campaign. Their recent National League form has been tested by a series of challenging fixtures, including a narrow 1-0 win against Gateshead FC at the end of October. With both sides eager to climb the table, this contest will likely be defined by which team can better manage the defensive pressures of the division.
