Walsall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Saddlers have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Bournemouth is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Cherries have hit 5 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Walsall at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Saddlers will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
