Recent respective form guides
Walsall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Saddlers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Robins's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Walsall are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola League One with a return of just 43 points from their 39 games thus far. Bristol City's 52 points from 40 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
