History of the Luton Town v Walsall fixture

Walsall pack their bags to visit Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 21 times.

The previous match played between the two at Kenilworth Road was more than three years back, in February 2005, the The Hatters carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While The Hatters have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Walsall's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Saddlers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Luton Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 25 points from their 33 games thus far. Walsall's total of 52 points from their 33 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
