Walsall pack their bags to visit Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium:MK on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 8 games played, Saddlers have recorded 1 wins, and Milton Keynes have come away with 4 victories.

The previous match played between the two at Stadium:MK was within the last three years, in March 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
