Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Walsall and AFC Wimbledon square off against each other at Bescot Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Saddlers are determined to retain top position in the standings, but Saturday’s clash against the fellow promotion-chasing side will be anything but a walk in the park for them. The good news for the hosts is that all Simkin, Wheatley, Okagbue, Lipsiuc, and Gordon are back from international duty. As defender Connor Barrett returns from suspension, home win should definitely be considered.
The Dons, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Barrow. AFC Wimbledon defeated Carlisle 2-1 in their last away game, but with aforementioned players returning for the hosts, we predict that Johnnie Jackson’s men are going to return home with their hands empty. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team, but midfielder James Ball remains in the recovery room.
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.
