Prediction: 2-1
Fleetwood
Walsall will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Fleetwood in the League Two round 9. The Saddlers rolled over Colchester United 4-0 at the weekend, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of Tuesday’s encounter. Midfielder Jack Earing is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace against the U’s, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Cod Army, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Fleetwood Town, but given Walsall’s brilliant form, especially at home ground, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. The opposition back-line should have midfielder Mathew Virtue-Thick at bay as the 27-year-old scored two goals in the last league fixture. In their last meeting at the venue Walsall defeated Fleetwood 2-0.
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.
