Walsall
Saturday’s football game at the Wham Stadium pits together Accrington and Walsall, the two mid-table sides. The Accy Stanley are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Rosaire Longelo-Mbule limped off with injury in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Crewe, with Alex Henderson likely to step up.
The Saddlers, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. Walsall aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and seeing that they will go for a victory as well, we predict that both sides will find the net in the round 23 clash. As for the away team, Jamaica international Jamille Matt is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers. In their last meeting in the League Two Accrington defeated Walsall 2-1.
