Recent respective form guides

Coventry City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Sky Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Walsall's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Saddlers have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Walsall are leading the way in the Nationwide League Division One, with their 1 games giving them a return of 3 points.
