Walsall are ready to welcome Scunthorpe United to Banks's Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 17 previous games, with the Saddlers winning just 8.
The previous match played between the two at Banks's Stadium was within the last three years, in February 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Walsall at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Saddlers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
