PRE-MATCH NEWS & VIEWS
Walsall made it three games without defeat on Saturday afternoon as goals from Taylor Allen and Jamie Jellis saw them defeat relegation-battling Morecambe at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
Going into the game on the back of a first win in six, the Saddlers were able to overcome their opponents despite the playing surface resembling a Tough Mudder obstacle course.
With just fourteen games remaining between now and the end of the season, results like Saturday's will go a long way towards the Saddlers ambition of making the leap back to League One.
OPPOSITION NEWS
Managed by former Walsall boss Michael Flynn, opponents Cheltenham Town will reach Tuesday's match on the back of a comfortable win over Newport County.
Goals from Matty Taylor, Ethan Williams, and Ethon Archer saw secure their second win in as many games, moving into the top half of the table in the process.

HEAD-TO-HEAD
There have been just twelve competitive meetings between Walsall and Cheltenham Town, and it's the Robins that hold an overall advantage, having won five times compared to the Saddlers' four.
The first meeting was an LDV Vans Trophy - Second Round match that took place at Whaddon Road on Tuesday, 2nd November 2004 and saw Walsall advance on penalties following a two-all draw in normal time.
Steve Guinan opened the scores for Cheltenham before Jorge Leitão levelled in the second half. Town re-took the lead via John Brough in extra time, only for Jorge to level once again.
Darren Wrack scored Walsall's fifth penalty after Damien Spencer had seen Cheltenham's saved by Saddlers stopper Joe Murphy.
THE LAST TIME WE MET
The most recent meeting was a League Two clash that took place at the Poundland Bescot Stadium on Saturday, 31st August 2024, and saw the Saddlers win by two-goals-to-one.
The first goal of the game didn't arrive until the early stages of the second-half when Nathan Lowe, who had replaced the injured Josh Gordon in the first-half, arrived at the back post where he poked the ball home from close range.
Walsall also scored the second goal of the game as Jamille Matt got on the end of a superb Connor Barrett cross to apply the finish past former Saddlers stopper Owen Evans.
The Saddlers were badly unable to protect their clean sheet for the entire game, as former Walsall loanee George Miller grabbed a goal with five minutes of normal time remaining.
MATCH OFFICIALS
The EFL has confirmed that Michael Barlow who is based in Lancashire will take charge of the match with Andrew Hickman and Callum Gough being named as assistant referees, whilst Sean Rothwell has been selected as Fourth Official.
