Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Matthew Sadler and Dean Brennan to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a flood of goals as Walsall and Barnet go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.67 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we recommend.
