Our prediction for this League 2 match:
AFC Wimbledon will welcome Walsall to the Cherry Red Records Stadium in the League Two round 17 clash that promises fireworks on Saturday. The Dons are eager to move closer to the playoff spots, currently sitting just outside the top seven. With a solid home record and a motivated squad, AFC Wimbledon will aim to continue their push for a promotion challenge.
Walsall, on the other hand, have their sights set even higher, as they look to cement themselves in the automatic promotion places. The Saddlers are enjoying a fine run of form, with a balanced attack and resolute defense making them one of the league’s toughest sides to beat. Both teams head into this game with no fresh injury concerns, which sets the stage for an open and competitive encounter. Given the attacking intent from both sides and their recent form, this clash is likely to see goals at both ends. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
