Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this match will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Cheltenham and Walsall haven't typically been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in League Two individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.33.
