History of the Walsall v Millwall fixture

Walsall prepare to entertain Millwall at Banks's Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 12 of the 35 previous games, with the Saddlers winning just 11.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Banks's Stadium was just last season, in December 2008, with Millwall inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Saddlers in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Walsall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

Millwall's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Lions's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.

Walsall's 43 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Millwall lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 58 from their 33 games so far.
