Last Game: Mansfield 2-1 Walsall
Saturday, October 28 at 3pm in League Two

We said: Sheppey United 1-2 Walsall

Sheppey will be fired up for the biggest game in their history on Friday, but the question is whether the Ites can control their emotions and take advantage of any opportunities that arise on the night.
