STAT ATTACK: “Will Grigg’s on fire - your defence is terrified”...

Chesterfield v Walsall

League Two - Playoff, Semi Final

Sunday 3.30pm, Sky Sports

We all know the song. Gala’s Freed From Desire belongs to the terraces now…

One for the football romantics here. Veteran striker Will Grigg started his career as a trainee at Walsall. The much-travelled 33-year-old plays his football for Chesterfield these days - and will take on his former club in the Playoffs…

• Grigg has scored in 3 games in a row, and also in each of his last 3 home appearances. He’s scored the First Goal in Chesterfield’s last 2 games

For Sunday’s Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg against Walsall, Grigg is 15/8 (2.88) to Score with Paddy Power and Betfair Sportsbook.

In the First Goalscorer market, Grigg is 5/1 (6.0) with Bet365, Skybet, Betfred, and Boylesports.
