History of the Walsall v Swindon Town fixture

Swindon Town face a trip to Walsall at Banks's Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 40 games played, Robins have recorded 10 wins, and Walsall have come away with 19 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Walsall's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Saddlers have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Robins have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Walsall's 24 points from 17 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Swindon Town find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 19 points from their 17 matches.
