Walsall travel to take on Lincoln City at Sincil Bank 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 lose 17 and win only 7 of the 33 games.
The last time the two teams met at Lincoln City was back in April 1999, over five years ago, with Walsall inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Red Imps in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Lincoln City may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.
Walsall's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.
Lincoln City are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 7 points from 3 games. Walsall are leading the way in the Coca-Cola League Two, with their 3 games giving them a return of 9 points.
