This could be an interesting match as Walsall have their presumed home advantage while Cambridge United are ahead 5 points in the League Two table.
It's no vacation for neither Walsall nor Cambridge United 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.
Walsall form and stats
Overall League Two stats at home this season for Walsall are 2-2-0 (wins-draw-losses). The last three games played by Walsall, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
Walsall shared the glory with Barrow in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Before that, Walsall played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Bradford City.
This is expected to be a close game, with Walsall perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Walsall as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Walsall has won five of these, drawn five and lost six.
The manager D. Clarke will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Mansfield Town in only four days.
The Walsall fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Walsall have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Cambridge United form and stats
Cambridge United, who have the most scored goals (19) in League Two, have six points from their first three away games in the League Two, meaning two victories and a loss.
Cambridge United played 1-1 against Bolton Wanderers in their previous match. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Port Vale.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cambridge United playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Cambridge wins, three draws and seven defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Cambridge now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Crawley Town is waiting in only four days.
Cambridge United are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (10 goals from 3 away games). Cambridge are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
