Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Accrington and Walsall will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither John Doolan or Matthew Sadler has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.18 equating to roughly a 76% probability.
