Walsall vs Oldham Predictions

Walsall can make home advantage count

Walsall are worth backing to secure a home win against Oldham on Monday. Mat Sadler’s side have been strong at the Bescot Stadium this season, winning seven of their 11 League Two home games, while Oldham have won three of their 11 on the road.

Walsall are top of the league, having won 13 of their 22 games this season, while Oldham sit in 15th with six wins, ten draws and six defeats.

Walsall come into this game in better form than Oldham. Walsall have lost just one of their last eight League Two games, while Oldham have not won any of their last three away games.

The visitors lack killer instinct in front of goal. No League Two team has failed to find the net in more games this season than Oldham’s total of nine, and they have scored just nine goals in 11 away matches – an average of 0.82 goals a game.

The visitors have struggled defensively of late, with Oldham failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five League Two games.

Walsall have played four successive games in League Two with fewer than three goals and five of their 13 successes this season have been by two goals. A 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option.
