Prediction: 0-1
Exeter
Saturday’s football game at Bescot Stadium pits together Walsall and Exeter. The Saddlers aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Stevenage and Mansfield, but they will have a big fish to fry on Matchday 28. All Phillips, Wilkinson, and Willock are pushing for a start as Matthew Taylor should opt to make changes to the starting XI. Exeter, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe United.
The Grecians are only one point behind the playoffs berth, and seeing that Walsall suffered a dip in form, we believe that away win should be considered. Congo international Offrande Zanzala should keep his place in Exeter’s starting XI after finding the net in the triumph over the Iron. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 2-2 draw St. James Park.
