Walsall vs Leicester tips and predictions

Walsall worthy of conisderation

While they have been trading blows in different leagues there is some evidence to like the chances of the hosts. While it's not very strange to see these big odds against the home team they they can make a fist of this.

Most people believe the favourites are unquenchable but the visitors' price makes them no value. Leicester are too short to have total faith in.

Looking at the recent results for both sides, the hosts have picked up 11 home wins from their last 15 games. With differing fortunes the travelling side has tasted defeat in 5 of their recent 7 matches on the road. If Leicester lose this it will go down as a collosal upset. But that price is not to be sniffed at.

The Saddlers should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts are really up for it, it will have a lot to do with their growing goal tally. They scored at least once in all of their recent 15 home matches and that's been compounded at the back. In defence they've conceded no more than once in 10 of their last 11 games.

Leicester have conceded two or more goals in 4 of their last 7 matches. It might be close but no cigar for the underdogs side but they really can do this.

Leicester will want to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It's not a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts adapt to a standard of football they aren't used to.

So, if the home team is to pull off the upset, it is essential that they take their chances. Their finishing has been impressive in several of their recent outings. They'll need some of that form if they have genuine ambitions to deny the visitors. You'll be joining a small crowd if you think they can do it.
