Prediction: 1-0
Crewe
Walsall play host to Crewe at their Bescot Stadium in what is expected to be an exciting League Two game. Walsall did well to beat Bolton in their FA Cup opener and they must be high on confidence following four-game unbeaten run in the League Two. Ryan Stirk limped off with injury in the FA Cup triumph, with Charlie Lakin being ready to step up.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, aim to recover from the FA Cup defeat to Dag & Red. Crewe are eyeing their third consecutive win in the English fourth tier, but seeing that Walsall are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from Saturday’s encounter. In their last encounter at the venue Walsall defeated Crewe 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Zac Williams is widely expected to return to Crewe’s starting XI.
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.
