Recent respective form guides

Walsall need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Saddlers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Robins's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Walsall's 9 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Swindon Town's total of 12 points from their 7 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
