Bury vs Walsall Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Having been on such a torrid run for some time – 18 games without a win in all comps – Bury have finally picked up in recent weeks and come into this match unbeaten in two (might not sound a lot but it’s massive if you’ve previously gone 18 matches without winning). However, they’re still far from secure defensively and it’s hard to feel overly confident about them winning here, despite playing at home.

Walsall have been pretty inconsistent this season, but they haven’t been the easiest team to beat when playing away from home and, if capable of defending well, could easily profit at the other end. With this in mind, at odds of 11/10, ‘Walsall Draw No Bet’ looks a decent bet here.

The main problem for Bury has been their defence. They’ve conceded a staggering 24 goals at home this season and have rarely looked like keeping teams out. This bodes well for Walsall, who’ve tended to favour a more cautious approach on their travels. If the visitors can keep things tight at the back, then there’s absolutely every chance that they can cause a shaky Bury back-line problems at the other end.

The fact that Walsall come into this fixture having kept two away clean sheets on the bounce is a positive, while Bury have failed to keep a clean sheet at home since the opening day of the season.

In a match where it’s simply impossible to trust the defensive side of the hosts’ game, Walsall make plenty of appeal as an alternative and are worth backing on the ‘Draw No Bet’ market ahead of this one.
