REVIEW Walsall vs Grimsby Town
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Grimsby Town got the better of Walsall 3-1 on the road. Half-time: 1-2.

A gentle 44% lean on Walsall didn't survive contact with the match; margins like that flip all the time. Small consolation: at 1.90 (roughly 53%) the price was further off than we were.

No strong lean on goals — the model had over 2.5 at 48% and both teams to score at 48%, coin-flips both. If anything the market was more convinced: the BTTS-yes price stood at 1.82, roughly 55%.

On the day, Walsall had 42% of the ball to Grimsby Town's 58%, shots finished 10-10, expected goals 0.68 to 1.80.

Coming into the game, across their last 6 meetings in our records, Walsall had the better of it with 2 wins, 3 drawn. Those games averaged 2.33 goals for Walsall and 1.17 for Grimsby Town.
