Betting Insights
- Walsall FC are priced at 1.9 to win and, although that is a shade too short for many, they are the clear favorites to beat a Crawley Town side priced at 3.95 to win.
- The draw is at 3.45 and there is value in backing a stalemate, although Sadler’s team have been more positive recently and could edge this one.
- Over 2.5 goals is also available at 1.9, with the contrast in styles suggesting an open game.
Prediction
- Crawley’s build-up play and Walsall’s pressing and counter-attacking style should be a fascinating tactical battle, although Sadler’s intensity and energy should disrupt Lindsey’s methodical approach and the home side are the favorites to edge it.
- The last three head-to-head meetings have all been ties, but with Walsall in superior form at home and Crawley so poor on the road, we’re backing the third-placed side to take the three points.
