Recent respective form guides
Walsall need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Saddlers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Brentford's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.
Walsall's 40 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Brentford's 38 points from 29 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.

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
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Walsall | Drawn last 2 games at home. Failed to win in previous 6 home matches. Not drawn a match in their last 3 . |
| Brentford | 6 games since last away draw. 4 games since last defeat. |
