History of the Wimbledon v Walsall fixture

Wimbledon prepare to entertain Walsall at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Dons.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at National Hockey Stadium was just last season, in November 2002, as the Dons squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Wimbledon's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Dons have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Walsall's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Saddlers have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 22 games have yielded only 14 points. Walsall see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division One, showing a record of 27 points from their 22 games played so far,
