Saddlers Wins Draws Gills

Last Meeting

Gillingham

 0-1

Walsall
Jorge Leitao's 49th minute strike was enough to give the Saddlers all three points at the Priestfield Stadium.

Team News.

Walsall

Star striker Marlon King is a doubt for the Gills. He was taken off against Rotherham with cramping in his hamstring. Rod Wallace (hamstring) is out whilst Nicky Southall (ankle) and Paul Shaw (hamstring) are doubtful. Paul Ashby has recovered from illness.
.

Colin Lee has three injury doubts ahead of tomorrow's match; Danny Hay (ankle), Darren Wrack (calf) and Ian Roper (groin) are all out. Lee will probably stick with Saturday's victorious side.

.

One's to Watch.

Kidderminster

Gary O'Neil wowed the Bescot crowd with a great debut yesterday. THe England U21 midfielder won the Man of the Match award and was denied a fabulous goal by the woodwork. He will be looking to build on that tomorrow.
.

Ipswich

Marlon King was one of the hottest strikers in the First division a few years ago. Time behind bars for handling stolen goods put paid to any moves to the Premiership but King is back on form and Emblen and Ritchie will have their hands full on Monday.

.

The Verdict

.

Another home game which the Saddlers would look to win. Three points could move us 5 or 6 places up the table. It will be close but we should just do it.  

Prediction : Walsall 2-1 Gillingham
