Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-2
Tranmere
After sharing the spoils with Fleetwood at the weekend, Walsall will be aiming to return to winning ways in League Two when they take on Tranmere Rovers in round 9. The Saddlers were on a three-game winning run before the Fleetwood draw, which is certainly fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Defender Courtney Clarke is rated doubtful for the home side after suffering an injury in the last league match.
The Rovers, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Newport. Tranmere are on a three-game winless run in the League Two and given their defensive struggles, we are tempted to place our bets on Walsall. In their last meeting at Bescot Stadium, Walsall hammered Tranmere 5-1, which definitely goes in favour of our betting prediction. Experienced forward Kristian Dennis continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team.
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.
