Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Walsall and Bradford will score at least a couple of goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Matthew Sadler or Graham Alexander has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 75% probability.
