Recent respective form guides

Walsall have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 5.

Stockport Co.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Hatters have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Walsall see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 57 points from their 45 games played so far, Stockport Co. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 45 games have yielded only 26 points.
