Saturday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me turn my attention to the EFL, and there is one team in particular who appeals to me for goals.
⚽️ Swindon Town vs Walsall
??????? League Two
⏰ Saturday 16th September, 15:00
High-scoring Swindon Town welcome Walsall to The County Ground on Saturday afternoon in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Michael Flynn’s hosts have made an unbeaten start to the season, collecting 12 points across their opening six matches (W3-D3-L0), to sit just three points behind league leaders Gillingham despite playing a game fewer than all the sides above them in the table. After throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at home to Crewe on the opening day of the season, The Robins have gone on to defeat Crawley Town (6-0) and Sutton United (5-3) in their next two home fixtures, highlighting their potency in front of goal.
Walsall sit just a point and four places worse off than their upcoming opponents, as they stretched their unbeaten run to four matches last time out, as they came from a goal down to defeat struggling Salford City 2-1. That victory last time out was Mat Sadler’s Saddlers first away victory of the season, as they had previously lost at Morecambe (2-1) and Wrexham (4-2), as well as throwing away a two-goal lead in stoppage-time to draw 2-2 against, you guessed it, Crewe.
Bet of the Day
Despite playing a game fewer than all bar one side in League Two, Swindon are the highest-scorers in the division, having scored an eye-catching 20 goals across their opening six matches, with 13 of those coming on home soil. The Robins have scored on multiple occasions in five (83%) of those matches – including in each of their opening three as hosts – and I’m backing them to bag another double against a Walsall defence that has registered a solitary clean sheet across their previous 12 League Two tussles on the road since the end of February, shipping two or more in nine (75%) of them.
