Prediction: 2-0
Barrow
Walsall will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Forest Green when they welcome Barrow to their Bescot Stadium. The Saddlers are on a four-game winning run at home ground, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Tuesday’s encounter. Tom Knowles should miss out with injury, while David Okagbue serves a one-game ban.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, did well to beat both Gillingham and Colchester in the previous two home games, but given their five-match winless run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Barrow midfielder Dean Campbell limped off with injury at the weekend, with Sam Foley likely to replace him in the starting XI. In the first half of the season Barrow defeated Walsall 2-0 at Holker Street, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
