Cambridge United

Walsall

Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Cambridge United games have become must-watch for unders backers. Their last five League Two matches have all finished under 2.5 goals, and they are happy to win games the hard way, as shown by Monday’s 1-0 success over Chesterfield with just one shot on target. Walsall also tend to keep things tight away from home, with eight of their 11 road games this season staying under the line. Two organised sides, limited risk-taking, and strong defensive numbers point firmly towards a low-scoring contest.

Cambridge United 1-0

Reason for tip

If there is a winner, it is likely to be by the narrowest of margins. Cambridge are strong at the Abbey, with five wins in their last seven home league games, and they have already beaten Walsall 1-0 this season. Walsall rarely get blown away on their travels, but most of their defeats have come by a single goal. With both sides prioritising structure and control, another cagey 1-0 home win looks the most plausible correct-score outcome.
