The Pirates are two spots and four points outside the relegation spots, while the visiting Saddlers are hanging on to the final playoff spot in League Two. Check out our match prediction for the game below.
Over the course of the season Bristol Rovers have struggled and they currently lie in 21st spot in the table with 24 points from their 28 games played so far. In contrast, Walsall have been around the playoff places all season long and the Saddlers are seventh in the table with 49 points from 28 games, four points clear of Chesterfield below them in the table.
Bristol Rovers had been in a real rut recently. Prior to the weekend, they had lost three games in the league back-to-back by a 1-0 scoreline, at home to Colchester and then away at Salford City and MK Dons. However, they earned a crucial 3-0 win at home at the weekend over 23rd placed Newport County.
Walsall have won just one of their last four games, a 3-1 away win at Tranmere Rovers, but since then they have drawn their next three. That run includes two home goalless draws against Accrington Stanley and Crawley Town and at the weekendm the Saddlers earned a crucial 2-2 draw away at Chesterfield.

Our Bristol Rovers vs Walsall Prediction
Our prediction for the Bristol Rovers vs. Walsall League Two match is: Walsall/Draw.
Despite Bristol Rovers win last weekend against Newport, this game against Walsall is a very tough task for struggling Rovers. That said backing Walsall for the win isn't as well-supported in recent data given the Saddlers tendency to draw games of late. As such, while the value of the bet may not be as appealing as backing the win or draw, backing a Walsall win and a draw is the value bet here.
