History of the Walsall v Yeovil Town fixture

Walsall prepare to entertain Yeovil Town at Banks's Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Banks's Stadium was two seasons ago, in March 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
