*These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

Tranmere have a difficult assignment in the League Two this weekend when they go up against Walsall at the Prenton Park. This prediction looks at the game between two teams who are evenly matched on the table but vastly different in terms of recent form.

Tranmere vs Walsall – Predictions, Odds, & Best Betting Tips

Tranmere were able to almost get a spirited win over Sutton in the recent game, but conceding a late goal meant that the team had to settle for a point in the 2-2 draw. Walsall continued their impressive form with a 2-1 win over Stockport County in the third round of the FA Cup.

Three points for Walsall

Walsall have been the top dog in the League Two over the last six matches. The team has picked up 13 points – the same as Sutton – in the recent six games. Further, the team also has had the joy of reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup. Meanwhile, Tranmere will be able to call upon the strong comeback that they showed against Sutton, but it is unlikely that Mickey Mellon’s team will be able to repeat the same for the second consecutive match. Walsall have dominated this fixture with four wins in the last six meetings.

Total goals over 2.5

Even though Walsall have been among the top teams in the league over the last six matches, they have not exactly been amazing in front of goal. At an average of just under 1.5 goals per match, the goals from Walsall have been quite mediocre but the team has witnessed over 2.5 goals in three out of the last four games.

Both teams to score – yes

This prediction has not seen Walsall manage a clean sheet in four successive games. The spirited fightback shown by Tranmere is a big reason to consider goals at both ends of the pitch.
