Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bescot Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Walsall and Tranmere, the two bottom-table sides. Walsall did well to beat Notts County on the road in their last league match, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on winning if they are to rejoin the playoffs race. Keep in mind, though, that talented midfielder Ross Tierney has joined goalkeeper Owen Evans in the recovery room.
The Super Whites, on the other hand, are six points clear of the relegation zone and in a pretty fine form. Tranmere are undefeated in the previous five league matches, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw this time out. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Walsall. In their last meeting in the League Two the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
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.
