Walsall are hovering above the relegation places in League Two and will be keen to avoid what would be an embarrassing cup defeat in the early FA Cup game at Alfreton Town in this rescheduled FA Cup tie on Tuesday.

The Saddlers should have enough quality to win this game but this competition tends to bring out the best in non-league clubs, and National League North outfit Alfreton will be keen to put on a show in front of their own fans and the TV cameras.

Both teams to score has a chance

Alfreton have only failed to score in one of their 15 home games this season and Walsall have found clean sheets tough to come by of late, keeping just one shut-out in their last 11 games – and they are yet to keep an away clean sheet in any competition this season.

The hosts have seen both teams score in four of their last five games so backing both teams to score appeals here, given how both teams struggling at the back.

Walsall did manage to avoid an upset in the previous round but did concede against as they overcame Sheppey United of the Isthmian League South East Division 4-1.
