Walsall vs Leicester tips and predictions

FA Cup match offers big price for Walsall success

The away team is several levels above this Walsall side.

It's unlikely the home win will have caught many people's attention but there's something about this big price that looks interesting.

The hosts are going into the match having banked 9 wins from their last 12 games. Depending on who you listen to, you might have heard Leicester are nailed on for this. But that might just end up as nothing more than hyperbole.

The Saddlers should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts have the self-belief to get the job done it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent performances. These home players are doing some good stuff. They have scored two or more goals in 6 of their recent 8 matches and the rest of the team has been industrious too. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 12 of their last 13 games.

Leicester have actually conceded two or more goals in all of their last 3 matches. It might be close but no cigar for the underdogs side but they really can do this.

In their last home match Walsall had a 2-1 win against Mansfield.

It might all come unstuck for them, but the home side can make a match out of this fixture.

Despite the clear favouritism for Leicester it will be great to see Walsall make a match of it. It isn't the best bet among today's football but Yes BTTS bet is the unconfident side bet. In the total goals market, it's under 3.5 goals picked as the best play considering the price on offer. When there is evidently a gulf in class, matches can take an unpredictable turn. The analysis in this preview will depend on how the hosts manage a higher calibre of the sport.
