History of the Walsall v Yeovil Town fixture

Walsall prepare to entertain Yeovil Town at Banks's Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 8 previous games, with the Saddlers winning just 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Banks's Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2010, with Yeovil Town inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Saddlers in a League One match.
