Prediction: 2-2
Grimsby
Walsall and Grimsby square off against each other at Bescot Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Saddlers are eyeing their third win of the season, but Tuesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Mat Sadler’s troops. With no fresh injury worries to report, the 40-year-old is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Barnet on the road on Matchday 3.
The Mariners, meanwhile, have been scoring goals for fun in the new League Two season and given Walsall’s signs of improvement, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. You should know that 16 goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two sides in the English fourth tier. Speaking of the away team, David Artell has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to West Midlands.
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.
