Swindon
Saturday’s football game at Bescot Stadium pits together Walsall and Swindon, the two teams that seem to evenly matched ahead of the season opener. The Saddlers rolled over Forest Green 3-0 in their last friendly game and given their fine performances in preseason, home win should be considered. One of the men to watch in the home team will be summer signing Aaron Pressley, who managed to open his goal-scoring account against Forest Green.
The Robins, meanwhile, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chippenham and Eastleigh. As both Swindon and Walsall have been scoring goals for fun of late, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. New signing Darren Oldaker is widely expected to make his official Swindon debut against Walsall as well as Billy Bodin, who played for Burton Albion last season
