We said: Walsall 1-0 Harrogate Town

Although Walsall are enduring a rough patch, the visit of a Harrogate side that has flattered to deceive on the road should provide the perfect opportunity for the hosts to spark their push for automatic promotion back into life. Each of the last four meetings between these two has ended with only one side finding the net, and with the visitors failing to score in their last six away matches, a narrow win for the Saddlers looks the most likely outcome.
