Historical results aside, it remains to be seen whether that trend might continue on here in this game.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Northampton Town will need to apply a lot of pressure to see themselves scoring against this Walsall lineup who we think might well gain the upper hand.

We therefore fancy a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Walsall at the conclusion of the game.

Should be a close one.
