Prediction: 1-0
Sutton
Walsall play host to Sutton at their Bescot Stadium on day 30 of the 2023/2024 League Two campaign. The Saddlers aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Stockport County and they are surely capable of beating the relegation strugglers in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Sutton.
The visitors, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches, but that did not help them escape the relegation zone. The Yellows have the worst away record in the current League Two campaign, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. In the first half of the season Sutton crushed Walsall 4-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. To make things even worse for the visiting team, both Sowunmi and Goodliffe limped off with injuries in a 1-1 draw with Mansfield. Both John and Patrick are ready to step up.
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.
