APWin predictions for Stoke City vs Walsall

With odds already defined by leading bookmakers, our specialists have thoroughly reviewed the key match data. Check out our expert prediction below:

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate Stoke City vs Walsall to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 1.7 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.

👉 Our prediction is: Walsall win or draw

Our evaluations have shown there is not much separating Stoke City and Walsall overall. But given the extra betting edge that comes with the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw is enough to win the bet, we recommend taking Walsall to win or draw in this match.

With odds of 1.99, there is a good deal of value on Walsall to pull off a potential upset away from home against Stoke City, who have not been in the best form of late.
