On Friday night, Wrexham will be facing Walsall away from home, aiming to keep their League One promotion hopes alive by the end of the season.

The 2023-24 campaign began quite slowly for the hosts, with only one victory registered in their first seven games across all competitions. However, their recent performances have shown a significant improvement. Mat Sadler’s team has won four of their last five games going into Friday’s match and has suffered only one loss in their last six fixtures in all competitions.

The Wrexham side, who are currently in form, will be hosted by them. Last time, the visitors triumphed over Swindon Town with only ten men, marking their third win in the last three league games. This successful streak has brought Phil Parkinson’s team to a position just four points behind the leaders, Stockport, who have played one more game and will also compete at the same time on Friday.

Walsall vs Wrexham Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Walsall’s recent good form has been based on a strong defense. In their last eight games across all competitions, Mat Sadler’s team has only allowed more than one goal in two games and managed to keep a clean sheet in five. Six of these matches ended with less than 2.5 goals.

Wrexham comes into this match following consecutive league clean sheets, with both games concluding with under 2.5 goals. Furthermore, recent encounters between Walsall and Wrexham were somewhat lackluster. Two out of the previous three matches finished with under 2.5 goals, and we predict a similar outcome for Friday’s game.

• Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
