Stevenage v Walsall Preview, Tips & Prediction

Stevenage host Walsall on Saturday afternoon at Broadhall Way with the hosts desperate for points to lift them off the bottom of the table. Read the Stevenage v Walsall match preview and predictions below.

Stevenage are currently rock bottom of League Two having collected just 22 points from a possible 105 so far this season. Graham Westley’s side are 8 points adrift of 23rd placed Macclesfield with just 11 games remaining and so any points they can pick up at this stage of the season are vital. However, the hosts have now suffered defeat in their last 8 consecutive matches having conceded 19 and scored just 4 throughout those games. Although Stevenage have managed to pick up points at home of late, they have been unable to seal a win at Broadhall Way in their last 10 games having draw 5 and lost 5.

Walsall sit 15th in League Two and 11 points off the playoff spots. It’s unlikely Darrell Clarke’s side will reach the top 7 by the end of the season and a mid-table finish is more than likely. They come into this game being unbeaten in their last 4 matches and have recently found some form in front of goal having scored 5 in their last 2 games. Their away form of late has also seen improvement and the visitors have lost just 2 of their last 9 on the road, giving them the 7th best away record in League Two so far this season. They’ll see Saturday’s match as winnable and should be looking to take away all three points.
