The last time these teams met, in a wild 2024/2025 EFL Cup clash, Walsall eventually edged Exeter 5-4 in a game that could get equally tasty on Saturday.
Key Players
Lee Grant has his Walsall side playing on the front foot, using high-tempo, energetic pressing and quick transitions to force opponents into errors, while Matt Taylor has Exeter set up in a compact, disciplined shape, with the hosts' own organised pressing and counter-punching doing the damage.
Betting Insights
- Exeter have a solid base on their own patch, however, while Walsall have also yet to concede away from home in the league, and so we're going to play it safe and go for the draw at 3.4.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 looks a strong play in this one as, while both sides have been scoring plenty, Taylor's structure should slow the game down somewhat, although an exciting 2-2 draw could be on the horizon.
