Walsall play host to Scunthorpe United at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 16 previous games, with the Saddlers winning just 8.
The last time the two teams met at Walsall was more than a decade ago, in April 1995, the Saddlers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Three match.
