Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Matthew Sadler and his side approach kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Stats imply both sides have the weapons to deliver up top, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the game, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.

Goal Statistics

Walsall's forwards have been superb of late, finding the net twice or more in 5 consecutive League Two games. A PG of 2.1 suggests that run should continue on Saturday afternoon.

Walsall's defensive record is very strong, M. Sadler's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive League Two matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for MK Dons makes sense in this context.
