Walsall face a trip to Bristol Rovers at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saddlers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Bristol Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 9 to 8.
Walsall's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Saddlers have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
