Destiny is still in their own hands but momentum has taken a dramatic dip in the wrong direction. 

Here, we predict how the rest of the season could pan out and when Walsall could potentially seal their fate.

Current Position: 1st 

Points: 70

Walsall have a season-defining week ahead of them with a trip to Doncaster Rovers sandwiched between home clashes against AFC Wimbledon and Port Vale.

The promotion picture is likely to look a lot clearer at the end of that run with Walsall either still sitting at the top or potentially falling out of the automatic promotion places altogether.

Promotion is the key for Walsall although winning the league title would be the cherry on top of the cake.
