Recent respective form guides

Walsall's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Saddlers have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Posh have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Walsall find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 11 points. Peterborough's total of 22 points from their 14 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Npower League One.
