Walsall go into their final home game of the season on the back of a fourteen game unbeaten run, which disappointingly includes six draws in the last eight games, and will be desperate to collect all three points to keep their slim hopes of making the end of season play-offs, alive.
The Saddlers faced this weekends opponents Bury in October, during the club's mid-season slump, which saw them win-less in seventeen, then, The Shakers were held to a draw in an encounter which columnist Sam Wright described as "an away point in a tough division, but it is more the performance that will disappoint those who also travelled up to Bury" in his Match Report.
With so many teams within a few points of each other, this weekend is a make and brake for The Saddlers play-off hopes, however, regardless of the outcome, this season can only be seen as a successful one, to be ending it in the top half after beginning the campaign as relegation favourites is a huge achievement for a side which had battled relegation for successive seasons.
Unfortunately The Saddlers still have a couple of niggling injuries going into the weekend, club captain Andy Butler and left-back Andy Taylor are both set to miss out again with a broken toe and a hamstring strain respectively.
The referee assigned the game is Surrey-based Darren Sheldrake who has issued 94 yellow and two red cards in twenty-eight games.
