Walsall travel to face Fleetwood Town this Saturday aiming to improve their League Two form after a heavy defeat. The Saddlers sit seventh in the table with 14 points from eight games, just two points off the top.
Their last outing was a 1-1 draw at Tranmere Rovers, where Reece Smith scored a stoppage-time equaliser. That result followed a difficult 6-1 home loss to Stevenage on September 22, a game where Lewis Simper netted a first-half consolation.
Recent form
Walsall's recent form shows one win, three draws and one loss from their last five matches. They have scored 11 goals this season while conceding only five, giving them a healthy goal difference of plus six.
Fleetwood, their hosts, are 18th and have lost their last four league games. Their most recent result was a 1-0 defeat away to Salford City. Walsall manager Mat Sadler will hope his side can capitalise on this poor run.
The team is expected to be similar to the one that drew at Tranmere, with Isaac Moore and Sam Sprangler anchoring midfield. The match at Highbury Stadium kicks off at 3pm on October 10.
