History of the Walsall v Milton Keynes Dons fixture

Walsall prepare to entertain Milton Keynes Dons at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Saddlers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bescot Stadium was just last season, in October 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
