๐ Form Guide
Walsall
WWLWWD
Walsall prepare for this match following on from a 1-1 League Two drawn result vs Tranmere Rovers.
The only scorer from Walsall was Danny Johnson (72'). Josh Hawkes (78') was the scorer for Tranmere Rovers.
Itโs been seldom in recent times that Walsall have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Walsall have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 6 goals in the process. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see if the trend might be replicated in this match or not.
Leicester City
