Prediction: 2-2
Walsall
Notts County will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Walsall in the League Two round 24. The Magpies have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Walsall. A man to watch in the home team will be Gambia forward Alassana Jatta, who has found his goal-scoring touch, while Lucas Ness is a major doubt after limping off with injury against Cheltenham.
The Saddlers, on the other hand, are on a seven-game winning run in all competitions. As Walsall attackers are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Nottingham, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Jack Earing will be assessed ahead of the kick-off after limping off with injury in a 2-0 win over Newport County at the weekend.
