On Tuesday night, Walsall and Charlton go head-to-head at the Banks' Stadium, as both teams look to enhance their promotion chances in League One.
The two teams head into this clash just three points outside the play-off spots, with Charlton above the home side courtesy of a superior goal difference. The Addicks are currently eighth in the table, while Walsall are tenth.
Walsall’s chances of getting into the top six have been hindered by a poor recent run of form in League One, as they have lost three of their last four league games. Last time out the home side suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Burton Albion.
Walsall’s recent form has been largely down to poor defensive displays, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four league games.
Their home form has not helped their promotion challenge either, as they have won just one of their last six league games on home soil.
Charlton’s recent league form has been inconsistent of late, as Athletic have won just two of their last seven games in League One. However, one of those wins was last time out in a 2-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers.
Their recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in the last four League One outings.
The visitors have struggled for wins on their travels of late in League One, having failed to win in their last three away games. Despite relative struggles on their travels of late, Charlton have scored at least two goals in four of their last five away games in League One.
One positive for the visitors is that Charlton are unbeaten in six meetings with Walsall in all competitions.
Forebet predicts a tight game finishing in a low scoring draw, which will not help either team’s chances of getting into the top six.
