Bristol City (home)
Bristol City have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four home games in all competitions, scoring 2.00 goals per game and conceding 1.25 .
Walsall (away)
Walsall have lost four of their last five matches and have been beaten three on the trot (Harrogate Town, Bromley, Aston Villa).
Key Players
- Lorent Tolaj has scored three of their seven goals across the last five games, giving them a sharpness up top.
- Mason Hancock has two of Walsall's four goals in the last five and has the bulk of the responsibility of getting them up front.
Betting Insights
- Bristol City come into this one as the heavy favorites at 1.41, with Walsall FC available at 6.4 and the draw priced at 4.85.
- Oddsmakers are pointing to a home win with over 2.5 goals rather than a lively tie.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.57 and Both Teams to Score: Yes at 1.75 are both mentioned as good prices.
Prediction
- On paper, Bristol City should have a bit too much quality for their League Two opponents, but Walsall are in poor form, so this is not a walkover.
- I'll take Bristol City to win and for this to be a slightly more open game than the bookmakers think.
