Prediction: 1-1
Walsall
Following a morale-boosting win over Barrow, Swindon will be aiming to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they take on Walsall on Matchday 23. The Robins are seven points behind top three, meaning that the Boxing Day clash is of big importance for the home side. There are no fresh selection worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Walsall. The opposition back-line should have Josh Gordon at bay as he has netted ten goals so far this term.
The Saddlers, on the other hand, have found their best form of late, with the team winning four of their last five league fixtures, and they must be high on spirits ahead of Monday’s festive fixture. With no fresh injury worries to report, we predict that Walsall are going to hold Swindon to a draw at County Ground.
