Walsall aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth as they welcome Crawley, coming off a disciplined goalless draw with Accrington. As Crawley have already suffered ten defeats on the road this term, we predict a 3-1 home win. Mathew John Sadler’s side average 1.25 points per game at home, where they concede just 0.75 goals per match and keep 50% clean sheets, showing far more stability at Bescot Stadium than on the road. Their home xG of 1.32 also suggests they create enough to trouble most visiting defences.
Crawley, on the other hand, are high on confidence after a narrow 1-0 win over Barrow, though defender Akinwale Odimayo’s injury is a blow for a back line already conceding 2.10 goals per game overall. The Red Devils' form remains inconsistent with 0.50 PPG, and they have yet to win away aside from a single recent victory. Defensively, Crawley keep clean sheets in only 10% of matches, and their xGA of 1.57 shows opponents regularly generate dangerous chances. History between these two is tight, with nine draws in 18 meetings, but current defensive trends clearly favour Walsall, who look more balanced and reliable in all phases.
Given Walsall's stronger home metrics and cleaner defensive profile, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals (both teams’ matches average above 2.5 total goals) and Walsall Over 1.5 goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Tuesday 27 January 2026 at 19:45.
