Prediction: 3-2
Chesterfield
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Salford City and MK Dons, Walsall will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate as they host Chesterfield to their Bescot Stadium on Saturday. The Saddlers are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Chesterfield’s shaky defence. Defender Evan Weir misses out with injury, with Priestley Farquharson likely to step up.
The Spireites, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a heavy 7-1 loss to Crewe and given Walsall’s signs of improvement, we are tempted to place our bets on the home team. You should bear in mind that over 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between the two teams. Midfielder Matthew Dibley-Dias is rated doubtful for 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.
