Sports Mole previews Tuesday's pre-season clash between Walsall and Coventry City, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Walsall will be back in action on Tuesday when they welcome Coventry City to Bescot Stadium with both teams continuing their pre-season campaigns.

The visitors head into the game having put together an undefeated run as they get ready for the new season, while the hosts have seen mixed results.


Match preview

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

One of their biggest issues in the 2021-22 campaign was conceding too many goals, having let in 60 throughout the season which is something they are actively looking to address.

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

That is the only victory they have mustered up so far throughout their pre-season campaign though, with the two previous matches seeing resulting in a draw and a loss.

The defeat was a heavy one as Aston Villa put four past Walsall, who were unable to respond, and the key for the League Two club will be in avoiding another result like that.

Jonathan Panzo was the hero of the day for Coventry City in their most recent match as he managed to score a brace on his debut as they defeated Oxford United 2-0.

That was the fourth victory the squad have managed in summer, which has created an undefeated start to the new campaign as they aim to once again be a threat in the Championship.

Last season saw the Sky Blues finish 12th, and now the focus will be on trying to make the step up to push towards the playoff positions.

Mark Robins has seen his team keep back-to-back clean sheets in their most recent outings, which is a strong improvement to the defensive side of their game.

But that has not taken away from their attacking threat, because Coventry have scored nine goals across their four matches so far, showcasing the qualities that they possess.

Team News

Walsall have brought in a lot of players so far, with 10 new faces being welcomed as they look for a stronger season as they try to push out of League Two.

Once again, Taylor will be looking to implement as many of them overall, giving them as many minutes as possible in order to start blending the players into the team.

The visitors have also been active in the transfer market so far this summer, with Callum Doyle and Panzo both coming in on loan to bolster their options.

Meanwhile, former Chelsea midfielder Kasey Palmer was also brought into the club, with Coventry reportedly closing on Tayo Adaramola, who could be part of the squad before the match takes place.


We say: Walsall 0-3 Coventry City

Walsall might have the home advantage in this game, but the visitors are the stronger side and will be expected to take a win here.

Coventry have been performing brilliantly so far in pre-season, and the consistent performances that they have been putting on is something that should see them through on Tuesday.
