It's only been seven days since Walsall fought Bradford City and the scoreline was 1-2. Can they get the points against Northampton Town?
- All of Walsall's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
- Northampton Town have the most scored goals (6) away in League Two
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Walsall form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Walsall have to build on here at Poundland Bescot Stadium in the League Two.
Walsall are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Bradford City. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Johnson for missing a penalty kick versus Bradford City in the 2nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Midfielder Knowles was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.42 (out of ten) in that game. Knowles hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that result, a home loss in the EFL Trophy against West Ham United U21.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Colchester United in only three days. This game is also played here at Poundland Bescot Stadium.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Walsall at home in the league. 6 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 3 matches.
Northampton Town form and stats
Northampton Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League Two, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
The followers enjoyed Northampton's previous fixture versus Barrow (placed 3rd), a 3-1 win played at home. Bowie, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.4. Bowie scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A defeat, in the EFL Trophy away at Ipswich Town, earlier.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Northampton Town manager Brady as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against AFC Wimbledon.
In the opposite end, Northampton Town have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
