Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Walsall will be aiming to stay in the playoffs race when they take on Swindon Town in a postponed League Two game. The Saddlers suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Doncaster and Notts County in the previous two league matches, but Tuesday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Brandon Comley is banned for the match, with Ross Tierney likely to step up.
The Robins, on the other hand, have little to play for in the season finale as they have already secured the League Two survival. Taking everything into account, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up vital three points from the Bescot Stadium showdown. Udoka Godwin-Malife misses out through suspension for the visiting team, while Saidou Khan remains on the sidelines with injury. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
