Walsall, aiming to strengthen their position atop the League Two standings will play host to eighth-placed Grimsby Town at Poundland Bescot Stadium on matchday 36. Here's our match prediction.
Walsall comes into this match in erratic form, having won two of their last ten matches in League Two (D4, L4). Before this unwanted run, the hosts were on a 16-match unbeaten streak including a winning streak of nine matches that stretched from December 03 to January 18.
In their recent outing, the Saddlers saved a point in a 1-1 away draw against basement boys Carlisle United. They would've been disappointed with the result considering they were leading seven minutes into the first half thanks to Taylor Allen's strike.
That result extended their winless run in the league to three matches recording two draws and a solitary defeat.
In contrast, Grimsby Town have been on cloud nine in League Two going unbeaten in five matches. That run translates to three wins and two draws.
On Tuesday, the Mariners forced a 1-1 home draw against Tranmere Rovers thanks to Daniel Rose's equalizer from the spot in the 68th minute. That result marked their second successive 1-1 draw in the league.
David Artell's men have seen an upward trajectory on the road evading defeat in three matches. This is an improvement from their prior four-match losing streak.
