Walsall form and stats

There's been little loot from Walsall's travels as they have only collected 18 points from 21 away games in the League Two. Walsall only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 9 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Walsall play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Crewe Alexandra (placed 16th). Defender McEntee was the best team player with a rating of 7.41. McEntee hit two key passes and won 12 of 24 duels.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Carlisle United.

Few goals the story here? 16 of this club's most recent 19 league fixtures have contained two or less goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Walsall are hosting Salford City in the League Two only four days away.

The attacking power of Walsall when travelling is not overwhelming with 18 goals scored from 21 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Walsall have conceded 27 goals in these away matches.
