Prediction: 1-1
Walsall
Salford will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Accrington and Morecambe when they face Walsall in the League Two round 7. The Lions aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s clash. Keep in mind, though, that experienced midfielder Matthew Lund misses out through suspension following his sending-off in a 1-0 loss to Morecambe.
Meanwhile, the Saddlers defeated Colchester United thanks to Isaac Hutchinson’s goal, but beating Salford on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Great Manchester. You should know that Salford won each of the previous three meetings with Walsall in the English fourth tier.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
Highlighted Team (Walsall):
Founded in 1888, Walsall are a professional club that play home matches at Bescot Stadium. The capacity of the venue is 11,300 people and it was opened in 1990. Nicknamed the Saddlers, Walsall footballers wear red shirts and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while black is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Walsall played out a goalless draw with Aston Villa on April 9, 1888 in their first ever game, with the team recording their biggest win on March 4, 1899 against Darwen (10-0). The Saddlers suffered their biggest defeat on December 17, 1892 as they were beaten by Small Heath 12-0.
Walsall fans consider wolverhampton wanderers the club’s biggest rivals, but the Saddlers have rivalries with Shrewsbury Town and Port Vale as well as the two clubs are only 30 miles away from Walsall. Crystal Palace centre-back Scott Dann is one of the most notable footballers who played for the Bescot Stadium.
