Recent respective form guides

Swindon Town need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. Robins have conceded a disappointing 5 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Walsall's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Saddlers's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Swindon Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 31 points from their 33 games thus far.

Walsall are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 34 matches.
