Bristol City to Score Over 1.5 Team Goals vs Walsall
Bristol City are expected to score over 1.5 team goals against Walsall in the first round of the EFL Cup. The match takes place on Thursday, August 6, at 20:45 CET.
Why Bristol City Will Win
Bristol City have strengthened their squad with the signings of Sam Tickle, Lorent Tolaj, and Sam Greenwood during the summer transfer window. The team has played seven friendlies ahead of the new season, winning two, drawing three, and losing two. In contrast, Walsall have endured a disappointing pre-season, failing to score a single goal in four friendly matches.
Walsall's Poor Form
Walsall have failed to win a single match during their pre-season preparations, and they are winless in their last six matches. The team has also failed to score in each of their last four matches. This poor form suggests that Walsall will struggle to compete against a strong Bristol City side.
Expected Lineups
Bristol City are expected to start with the following lineup: Collins; Tanner, Dickie, Eile, Pring; Randell, Bird; Twine, Greenwood, Horvat; Riis. Walsall, on the other hand, are expected to start with: Ward; Browne, Skura, Leak, Hancock; Pattison, Maher, Sprangler; Adomah, Pressley, Dallas.
Conclusion
Bristol City are expected to score over 1.5 team goals against Walsall in the first round of the EFL Cup. The home side's strong squad and recent form suggest that they will emerge victorious.
