Walsall get back in action when they take on Coventry City at Bescot Stadium on Tuesday, with both clubs continuing their pre-season campaigns.

The hosts have been involved in mixed results so far, while Coventry City head into the contest having put together an unbeaten run as they get ready for the new season.

Walsall finished their last campaign in the bottom half of League Two, which is something that they will be looking to improve this time around.

They conceded to many goals in the 2021-22 campaign, which was one of their biggest issues – having let in 60 throughout the season – which is something they are actively looking to address in the 2022-23 campaign.

Having kept a clean sheet in their most recent friendly is something that Matthew Taylor will have been pleased about, as they defeated Telford United 2-0.

In the Coventry City’s most recent match, Jonathan Panzo made himself the hero of the day as he managed to score a brace on his debut, as they defeated Oxford United 2-0.

That was the fourth victory the Sky Blues have managed in summer, which has created an unbeaten start to the new campaign as they look to once again be a threat in the Championship.

The 2021-22 campaign saw Coventry City finish 12th, and now the focus will be on trying to make the step up to push towards the playoff spots.

Mark Robins has seen his side keep consecutive clean sheets in their most recent matches, which is a strong improvement to the defensive end of the pitch.

However, that has not taken away from their attacking threat, with Coventry City having scored nine goals across their four matches so far, showcasing the qualities that the squad possesses, which is something Robins will want his players carry onto the upcoming Championship campaign.

Prediction and Odds

The visitors have been impressive so far in pre-season, and the consistent performances that they have been putting on is something that should earn them victory.
