Wrexham duel Walsall for acclaim and victory.
It's no vacation for neither Wrexham nor Walsall as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Wrexham form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first League Two game of the season here at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham. Last season these fans witnessed 22 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses from Wrexham's 23 home games.
Wrexham drew their last game, 1-1 away at AFC Wimbledon (placed 17th).
Preceding that result, a home victory hosting Wigan Athletic (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wrexham, as the League Two home game vs Swindon Town is only four days away.
Wrexham has scored {3 goals} so far and conceded {5 goals} from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Walsall form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the League Two ended in defeat. Last season Walsall had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 3, drew 10 and lost 10.
Walsall had fun at their own home (Racecourse Ground, Wrexham) last time out, beating Stockport County 2-1. Oteh and Johnson scored. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Sadler when Oteh scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute.
A loss, in the Carabao Cup away at Blackburn Rovers, before that.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Crewe Alexandra.
Walsall have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Head to head totals (for the prior two meetings): Wrexham won zero games, one match ended in a draw and Walsall have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / two.
