Stevenage form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at The Lamex Stadium as Stevenage have scored 29 goals to get 37 points from 16 games. The overall stats in the League Two are 12-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). The Stevenage manager Evans might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The supporters are hoping that Stevenage will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Rochdale (placed 24th). Midfield player Roberts got a match rating of 7.71 in that game, the max score being 10. Roberts hit the woodwork once and hit two key passes.

In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting AFC Wimbledon.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Stevenage's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 0 and lost 2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Stevenage as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Crewe Alexandra are visiting.

A decent goal production from Stevenage in their home games so far, with 29 goals from 16 league matches. From these home matches, Stevenage have conceded only 10 goals.

Walsall form and stats

As the visiting team in League Two matches, Walsall have produced an overall stat of 3-8-5 so far. It's three draws from Walsall's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Stevens was the last player to score for the away team. Walsall haven't scored a league goal in the last 198 minutes.

Walsall's last game was the home draw against Bradford City (0-0). Midfielder Knowles was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.6. Knowles hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A loss against Barrow was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Walsall when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 6 matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 4 and winning 1 game.

Lacking goals? 9 of this team's most recent 10 league fixtures have seen two goals or less.

After this away game Walsall return home for a League Two game against Swindon Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Walsall as they have only conceded 15 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Walsall - Stevenage 1-1 was the score in these teams' last head to head fixture, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Stevenage three wins, four draws and Walsall three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
