Despite being held to two draws on the trot, Boxing Day hosts Walsall nevertheless still remain top of the League Two table and in turn extended their unbeaten run to seven matches across all competitions.
Walsall have picked up recent wins in the fourth tier over the likes of Harrogate Town, Bromley and Oldham Athletic as well as cup wins at the expense of Stevenage in the EFL Trophy and a 2-0 win away from home at National League outfit Gateshead in the FA Cup.
All in all, things are looking pretty encouraging for Matt Sadler’s side as they prepare for this busy Christmas period and with a home record of 6-1-3 15/11 under their belts so far this season, The Saddlers look in good shape to extend their unbeaten run here at the Bescot Stadium on Boxing Day.
Crewe Alexandra sit in a more modest mid-table position of 10th place in the League Two table and the visitors bring a three-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter in the west midlands having picked up points in draws with Newport County and Bristol Rovers, along with a 4-1 thumping of Tranmere Rovers away from home.
However, that win at Tranmere has been Crewe’s only highlight in their last six games in the English fourth tier and the visitors’ inconsistent streak under manager Lee Bell has extended into results away from home as well.
An overall away record in League Two of 4-2-4 16/12 underlines Crewe’s vulnerability on their travels and this is something that Walsall will be looking to exploit on Boxing Day.
The Betting Verdict
Walsall’s current momentum along with home advantage should see the hosts over the line here.
The Pick :
Walsall 2-1 Crewe Alexandra
