History of the Walsall v Wimbledon fixture

Wimbledon face a trip to Walsall at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. On each previous occassion, the match has ended in defeat for the Dons.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2003, the Saddlers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Walsall need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Saddlers have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Wimbledon is pretty dire, chalking up just 1 victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. Dons have conceded 14 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.

Walsall are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 38 points from 35 matches. Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 34 games have yielded only 18 points.
