Our Walsall vs Chesterfield Prediction
Our prediction for the Walsall vs. Chesterfield League Two Playoff Semi-Final Second Leg is: Draw No Bet - Walsall to win.
The data for this second leg tie is completely erratic for both teams, with neither showing a strong trend towards winning or losing this game. However, over the season, Walsall have got the better of Chesterfield and did so in the first leg, taking a 2-0 lead into this tie. So while I have backed Walsall to win, I have used the Draw No Bet market to give insurance against the game finishing all-square.
