Recent respective form guides

Walsall's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Saddlers have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Stockport Co.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Hatters have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Walsall lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 3 points from their 1 games so far. Stockport Co. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 1 matches.
