Good Friday action at The Poundland Bescot Stadium sees Walsall face off against Harrogate Town in a vital League Two showdown. Can Matt Sadler’s Saddlers get back to winning ways at the eleventh attempt? Or will the visiting Sulphurites leave a bad taste in the mouth for the home side? Here’s our prediction for this important match for both teams.
For Walsall fans, these last couple of months have been the stuff of nightmares. A 12-point lead at the top of the table has evaporated and now the Saddlers lie third in the table with 72 points from 42 games. They are four behind leaders Port Vale and level with Bradford City, although with a worse head-to-head record. Harrogate lie in 20th with 46 points from their 42 matches, nine points clear of the relegation spots.
Without a win in ten and with just two wins from their last 17 League Two games, Walsall seem to have thrown away the League Two title. Now they are hanging on to an automatic promotion spot but cannot afford to lose here. They were beaten 3-2 by Port Vale in their last home game and last week went down 2-0 away to Barrow.
Away from home, Harrogate have scored just 13 goals in 21 games this season. They were beaten 1-0 by AFC Wimbledon in their last away match and last weekend earned a 2-2 home draw with Grimsby Town.

Our Walsall vs Harrogate Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Walsall vs. Harrogate Town League Two match is: Under 2.5 Goals.
If Walsall are to end their nightmare run, then a home game against a team that has failed to score in seven of their last eight away games seems a good option. Harrogate's poor away record extends past those last eight games meaning Walsall could still rescue their season by getting back to winning ways here. However with confidence low for the Saddlers, it looks more likely that it will be a nervy and low-scoring game.
