Prediction: 2-1
Accrington
Bescot Stadium will host Tuesday’s postponed fixture between Walsall and Accrington, the two playoffs-chasing side. The Saddlers are eager to extend their winning run to four games and they must be brimming with confidence following a 2-0 triumph at Harrogate. With no fresh injury worries to report, Simon Weaver is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Sulphurites on Matchday 35.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Crawley Town. Accrington failed to turn their dominance into goals at the weekend and given Walsall’s excellent form in February, we predict that the visiting team will return home with their hands empty. Fit-again forward Korede Adedoyin is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after coming as a substitute against the Red Devils, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team.
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.
