As we enter the final quarter of the season in League Two, there's still plenty of teams involved in the promotion and playoff battle. Walsall's match with Cambridge United at the Bescot Stadium features two teams involved in those battles with the Saddlers and U's both hoping for a vital three points when the meet. Here's our prediction for what promises to be an intriguing match between two teams who found form at the weekend.
Walsall still harbour hopes of a playoff spot, despite the sacking of manager Mat Sadler last week. The Saddlers now lie 10th in the table, with 56 points from 37 games, three points behind Chesterfield who occupy the final playoff spot. Cambridge are in a much stronger position, third in the table, in a promotion spot and four points clear of Notts County in fourth. They also have a game in hand on the two teams above them.
Recent results for Walsall saw the end of manager Mat Sadler last week, Darren Byfield stepping in after three defeats in a row at home to Fleetwood (1-0), at home to Notts County (2-1) and then away at Salford City (1-0). In Byfield's first game though Walsall bounced back with a 3-0 win over Crewe at the weekend.
Cambridge's recent form sees them unbeaten in their last seven. That run includes a 2-0 away win at Newport County then two 1-1 draws, the first at home to MK Dons then away at Accrington Stanley. At the weekend, the U's thrashed Gillingham 5-0 ahead of this game.

Our Walsall vs Cambridge United Prediction
Our prediction for the Walsall vs. Cambridge United League Two match is: Cambridge wins.
Both these teams had excellent wins at the weekend, but while that victory for Walsall was a rare positive result in a run of poorer performances, Cambridge's big win over Gillingham saw them extend an unbeaten run and cement their place in the trio of promotion spots in the table. Add into that Walsall's dismal home form which has seen them go seven games without a win in front of their own fans, and a Cambridge win is the bet to back.
