Walsall form and stats

Happy days for Walsall in their previous game, a League Two match away at Northampton Town that ended with a 1-0 victory. A 0-0 draw away in the League One before that, with Shrewsbury Town the opponent.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Walsall as they have a new game in only three days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Crawley Town are visiting.

Last season, Walsall's league statistics were 12 wins, 11 draws and 23 losses, resulting in a 22nd position in the League One. Over these 46 matches they scored 49 goals and conceded 71. Playing at home last season Walsall managed 7-5-11 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 37 conceded.

Forest Green Rovers form and stats

Forest Green Rovers won their last game, 1-0 versus Oldham Athletic played at home. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Tranmere Rovers.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Forest Green Rovers manager M. Cooper as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Charlton Athletic.
