Walsall prepare to entertain Wimbledon at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Saddlers.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bescot Stadium was just last season, in January 2003, the Saddlers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a F.A. Cup 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. No-score draw
