Bristol Rovers vs Walsall – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Bristol Rovers have claimed ten of the last 12 points on offer ahead of their tussle with Walsall in Gloucestershire. Read our top three predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Bristol Rovers to Win

Bristol Rovers survived a late rally to beat Scunthorpe 3-2 on Tuesday – pushing their recent surge to three wins in four League Two assignments in the process. Walsall meanwhile, were beaten for the fourth time on the spin the same evening (1-2 Bradford) and with their confidence at a low ebb, the Saddlers could struggle to match their host’s momentum.

Both Teams to Score

Both teams rattled the net when Bristol Rovers edged Walsall out 2-1 in the teams’ reverse fixture in September and we’re tipping both defences to concede again in Saturday’s rematch. Rovers have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine matches in League Two, while the Saddlers have shut out their opponents just once in their last eight games. Those records make for compelling reading, so back both teams to register again this weekend.

Over 1.5 Bristol Rovers Team Goals

Walsall’s rearguard has been alarmingly leaky in recent weeks and the Saddlers have conceded at least two goals in 100% of their last five fixtures in the fourth tier. Bristol Rovers – who have plundered ten goals in their last four contests – have the firepower to punish Walsall’s abject defending and as such they are a great bet in the over 1.5 team goals market.

Bristol Rovers vs Walsall Match Preview: In-form Rovers targeting more points

Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers’ dramatic 3-2 triumph at Scunthorpe on Tuesday was their third victory in four League Two tests and back at The Memorial Stadium – where the Pirates are targeting a third straight win – more success is anticipated. Manager Joey Barton will hope to have defensive reinforcements in the form of injured trio Cian Harries, Alfie Kilgour and Junior Brown back in the matchday squad this weekend.

Walsall

Walsall were denied a share of the spoils at home to Bradford in midweek by a late Andrew Cook penalty and the Saddlers cut a deflated bunch at full time at Banks’s Stadium as a result. Matty Taylor has a job on his hands to repair his players’ confidence and the Walsall boss will hope Rollin Menayese’s return from suspension will help to patch up the team’s underperforming backline.
