Walsall need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Saddlers have scored 8, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Yeovil Town's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Glovers's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Walsall are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 21 matches.
