Recent respective form guides
Walsall's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Saddlers have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Brighton & HA's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.
Walsall's 31 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 23 matches.
