Prediction: 2-0
Barrow
High-flying Saddlers will look to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions when they face Barrow in the League Two round 20. Walsall have been in a fine form of late, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure automatic promotion. Bearing any fresh injury worries, boss Mathew John Sadler is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Valiants at the weekend.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, have not recorded a win in the league since October 5, 2024, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts. Fit-again Barrow midfielder Kian Spence is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Bradford City. Graham Alexander is widely expected to stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
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.
