Walsall vs Barrow Prediction & Betting Tips

Walsall vs Barrow Preview

Walsall failed to secure a win in two consecutive games for the first time since August, following their 1-1 draw with Crawley last weekend. The hosts started poorly and were outplayed in the first half, going into the break a goal down. However, a spirited second-half display saw them fight back strongly to rescue a point from the contest.

At the Bescot Stadium, Walsall have been formidable recently, winning four of their last five home matches and losing just once. All four victories came in league action, underlining their dominance on home soil. They currently top the table with 26 points from as many matches, leading the rest of the division by at least two points as they continue their impressive run of form.

Meanwhile, Barrow’s winless streak stretched to three games after their goalless draw with Oldham last weekend. The visitors struggled to impose themselves and spent much of the match chasing shadows. Still, they managed to grind out a point thanks to an outstanding performance from goalkeeper Wyll Stanway, whose saves proved crucial in avoiding defeat.

Consistency has been an issue for Andy Whing’s men, particularly on the road, where they have recorded two wins, one draw, and four losses in seven outings. Nonetheless, they will take confidence from their solid record against Walsall, losing just one of their last ten meetings, winning five, and drawing four.

Walsall vs Barrow Prediction

We back Walsall to win because of their excellent home form, four straight league victories at the Bescot Stadium while Barrow’s away performances have lacked stability. Walsall have lost only once in their last ten games, winning seven and drawing two, whereas Barrow have suffered five defeats in that same period, with just two wins and two draws.

We also expect both teams to score, as Walsall have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five league matches, while Barrow’s defence has often shown vulnerability against attack-minded sides.

Lastly, Aaron Pressley to score anytime looks a strong pick. The Scottish forward has found the net three times in his last three appearances for Walsall and continues to be a major threat to opposition defences. His sharpness in front of goal could prove decisive once again in this fixture.
