Walsall form and stats

6-4-11 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Walsall so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Walsall with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Fleetwood Town game, 40 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Walsall having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager D. Keates.

In their previous game, the manager D. Keates led his Walsall to a defeat in the League One match away at Accrington Stanley. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Banks's Stadium. Preceding that match was the home game against Oxford United that was lost 1-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Walsall have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 3.

There will be little rest for Walsall after this match as they are travelling to Wycombe Wanderers for a League One game in only three days.

The Walsall fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 26 in 21 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 36 goals have been conceded.
