Prediction

Four points from their last two matches has left Walsall with their heads narrowly above water. With games against Sunderland, Portsmouth and Barnsley in the next month, they must take maximum points here or risk dropping into the bottom-four for the first time this campaign over the coming weeks. Their 3-2 victory over Bradford last month is their only at home since early December.
Meanwhile, Joey Barton's Fleetwood still have slim play-off hopes and despite dropping points at home to Gillingham last weekend, they're just six points adrift. Three of their four victories in 2019 have come on the road, but the Cod Army have only ever tasted victory once at the Bescot - losing on five of their six visits.
