This Walsall vs Sutton match is about who needs what out of this game, and Sutton is the one who can lose the most. The first time they met earlier this season, it was a 1-1 draw, and the two matches before that one ended with only a single goal as the difference with Walsall taking both games with a 1-0 score.
