Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson expects goals to be hard to come by at Prenton Park.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Under 2.5 goals10/11 (bet365)Walsall have conceded four goals in seven League Two games, the fewest in the division, and have kept five clean sheets. Tranmere have conceded two in three home games, and five of their seven league matches have finished with fewer than three goals, including a 0-0 at Exeter last time out. Bet365’s 10/11 gives an implied probability of 52%, and both sides’ numbers point the same way.
Both teams to score – No11/10 (Betway)Only two of Walsall’s seven league games have seen both teams score, and they have not conceded in five of them. Tranmere are unbeaten at Prenton Park, where they have kept clean sheets against Shrewsbury and Oldham, and both teams have scored in only three of their seven games. With two sides who shut opponents out this often, 11/10 at Betway, an implied probability of 48%, is a solid price.

How Tranmere Rovers go into the game

Tranmere sit tenth on ten points and have lost only once in seven league games, a 2-0 defeat at Gillingham.

They are unbeaten at Prenton Park, beating Shrewsbury and Oldham 2-0 and drawing 2-2 with Rotherham, and have conceded seven league goals in total.

Four draws have held them back, including 1-1 at Port Vale, 2-2 at Newport and last weekend’s 0-0 at Exeter. They also went out of the League Cup on penalties to Rochdale in the first round.

How Walsall go into the game

Walsall are one of four unbeaten sides in League Two and sit second on 13 points, two behind leaders Barnet.

Their defence is the best in the division, with four goals conceded and five clean sheets, and they have drawn four of their seven games, three of them 0-0.

Last weekend’s 2-0 win over Port Vale was their third of the season, and Aaron Pressley leads their scoring with four goals. They also knocked Bristol City out of the League Cup before going out on penalties to Leyton Orient.
