Best Tip: Walsall to win

As the Walsall players prepare themselves for this game, the bookies are predicting a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Banks's Stadium hasn't been a happy hunting ground for for Tranmere in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Saturday lunch time. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
