Pre-Match News & Views
Walsall will arrive at the match on the back of a three game unbeaten run, which has seen them hold both Exeter City and Leyton Orient to draws either side of a welcome win over Salford City.
Saturday's stalemate with Leyton Orient saw the Reds enter another frustrating performance as they could and should have taken all three points as their hosts were there for the taking.
Although the table still doesn't look good, Matthew Taylor's side have started to look like a team capable of taking points, and more importantly wins, from games and seem to be on the cusp of a breakout display.
With goals still arriving at a fairly regular rate, the Saddlers have netted at least a goal per game in the league so far this season, the team must become more secure at the back as, despite the recent run, they continue to toil towards the foot of the table.
Tuesday's meeting with Oldham represents another opportunity to move away from danger, but the game is far from a foregone conclusion, as the Latics will be buoyed by their recent 3-0 win over Stevenage.
