1st Prediction For Walsall FC vs Swindon Town : Swindon Town to win 17/5
Although Walsall are the league leaders, they head into Saturday’s game amidst their worst run of form all season. The Saddlers have won just three of their last 10 league games which has seen their previously unassailable advantage at the top of the league reduced to seven points (which is still fairly large). Swindon Town are in relatively good form having won three of their last five games in the league which puts them in fourth place in the form guide, eight spots about their hosts on Saturday. Despite Ian Holloway’s side being in better form than Walsall, the bookmakers have the home side as the overwhelming favourites to win. Therefore, it may be worth taking a bit more of a risk and predicting the Robins to pick up just their fourth away win in the league this campaign.
2nd Prediction For Walsall FC vs Swindon Town: Both teams to score: yes 33/50
Those looking for a safer prediction should consider predicting both teams to score as they have both been in excellent form in front of goal of late. Swindon Town are by far the highest scorers in the fourth division over the last five games, netting and incredible 12 goals. Walsall are in joint second place for the same metric as they have scored nine goals in their last five games, three less than Swindon, but still a very healthy goal return. Over the season as a whole, the Saddlers are by far the best attacking team in League Two and one of the best teams in the country for goals per match. They have also created the most xG and rank second for shots on target per match and big chances. Swindon Town are also a very good attacking outfit as they rank fifth for goals per match and 7th for xG created.
3rd Prediction For Walsall FC vs Swindon Town: Harry Smith to score at any time 11/4
Harry Smith has proven himself to be one of the most prolific and consistent target men in League Two over the past four seasons so predicting the former Millwall FC man to score seems like a relatively safe, yet fruitful prediction. Smith joined Swindon from Sutton United where, despite playing in a team that got relegated, he managed to score 11 times and provide four assists in 37 league appearances. This season, the 29-year-old has taken his game to another level. He has already scored 12 league goals in just 26 league games and he has accumulated these 12 goals from just 7.99 xG, an over performance of just over 4 goals. Although Smith has not scored in his last four appearances, he takes more shots per 90 than 83.5% of League Two strikers and he will be itching to get back on the scoresheet come Saturday.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Despite their recent inconsistencies, Walsall still head into Saturday’s game with a seven-point lead at the top of League Two and look set for promotion to England’s third tier. In recent games, their form has taken a bit of an upturn as they have picked up eight points in their last five league games, but they are still falling slightly short of the high standards which they set at the start of the season. Mat Sadler will be hoping that his side can continue their excellent home record to secure another win and put them three points closer to clinching the League Two title.
Ian Holloway has done an excellent job since his appointment as Swindon Town boss. The former Blackpool manager has won 11 and drawn five of his 24 games in charge to steer his team clear of relegation. They currently sit in 15th place, 11 points off the playoffs and 15 points clear of the dropzone. Holloway should use the rest of the campaign to prepare his squad for next season so that they can make a more sustained promotion push. He will want his side to continue their recent excellent form and get a result away from home against the league leaders.
