Walsall vs Bolton Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Ian John in FA Cup Predictions
Are goals on the menu in the FA Cup First Round this week? At Banks’s Stadium, League Two Walsall host League One Bolton in a game between two in-form and free scoring teams. Will Mat Sadler’s Saddlers ride their way to victory or can Ian Evatt’s Trotters truffle out a victory in the midlands? Let’s see what our prediction for this match says!
Walsall sit second in the League Two table, with a division-leading 26 goals scored. They have won five of their six at home, but their single defeat was a big one, a 6-2 reversal at the hands of Fleetwood Town.
Since that shock home loss, the Saddlers have won two and drawn two of their next four. A 2-2 draw with Chesterfield was followed by a 4-1 win over Grimsby and a 3-1 win over Carlisle. Last weekend though, they could only manage a 0-0 draw away to Accrington Stanley.
Bolton will feel equally confident in this game with the League One side sitting sixth in the table after 13 games. They also have a good away record with four wins from six games, scoring a dozen goals in those matches alone.
The Trotters have won five of their last seven games, drawing one and losing once. They have won both their most recent matches, a 1-0 home win over Peterborough and then a 4-1 away win over Stevenage last weekend.

Our Walsall vs Bolton Prediction
Our prediction for the Walsall vs. Bolton Wanderers FA Cup First Round tie is: Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals.
Both of these teams have started their respective seasons very well, both are in the hunt for automatic promotion and come into the game in relatively strong form. Most exciting is the fact that both of the teams average at least three goals per game this season. With Bolton being away, that also makes it a more even contest and one thet should see both find the net in a high-scoring encounter.
