Walsall vs Sutton United Predictions

• Just one of the last six opposition sides have stopped Walsall from scoring.
• Sutton failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches.
• Sutton have the second-worst defensive record of teams ranked 1st-7th.

New manager bounce continues for Walsall

It has been a mixed bag of results so far for Michael Flynn since his February appointment (W2, D1, L1), though going unbeaten in three straight games ahead of this is a feat in itself, one that Walsall have not completed since new year’s day.

The backline still needs work, as Walsall have just one clean sheet under the stewardship of Flynn, conceding seven goals while only scoring three in reply. However, home advantage mixed with the tired legs of Sutton players who endured a midweek cup game could play into their hands.

Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be

It was a night to remember for Sutton in midweek as they won on penalties to book a day out to Wembley for the EFL Trophy final, though they must come back down to earth for this clash as their promotion challenge takes centre-stage yet again.

Sutton have had little problems scoring of late, bagging eight times across their last three games, though they kept just one clean sheet across their last six, suggesting there may well be chinks in the armour.

All in all, we predict that this could be an exciting affair between two sides with something to prove, Walsall look to impress their new manager while Sutton must win to aim for the automatic placings, we could well see goals at both ends in an eventual 2-1 win for the cup finalists.
