Walsall vs Salford prediction

Walsall were well clear at the top-of-the-table in mid-January before collapsing and missing out on automatic promotion on the final day before a playoff final defeat. Mat Sadler remains in charge and they have looked to be strong once again this year, but they did most recently suffer a 1-0 loss at home to Grimsby Town in midweek.

They now face a Salford City side that somehow missed out on the top seven and the playoff places on the final day of last season, but Karl Robinson’s Ammies are expected to mount a serious challenge for promotion again. Their victory over Newport County in midweek means they have now enjoyed three successive victories.

Walsall will have a concern that when they are falling behind or about to wobble, they can completely collapse, and Salford will be confident and sensing a massive opportunity.
