Last time out, Walsall drew 1-1 in the League Two tie with Tranmere Rovers.

The only name on the scoresheet from Walsall was Danny Johnson (72'). Josh Hawkes (78') was the scorer for Tranmere Rovers.

The stats tell the story, and Walsall have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 6 goals in total. Defensively, Walsall can certainly do much better. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, of course.

🤜🤛 Head to head

If we look at their past head to head duels going back to 25/02/2017, it’s been all-even between these two clubs with AFC Wimbledon winning 3 of those games, Walsall 3 and 0 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.

In all, 18 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 8 of them from The Dons and 10 belonging to The Saddlers. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.

The previous league meeting between these sides was League Two match day 14 on 08/10/2022 when the final score was Walsall 3-1 AFC Wimbledon.

The referee was Adam Herczeg.
