History of the Walsall v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield face a trip to Walsall at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 12 games played, Terriers have recorded 2 wins, and Walsall have come away with 5 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2005, as the Saddlers edged out their past their rivals by a score of 4 - 3 in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Walsall's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Saddlers have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Huddersfield's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Terriers have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Walsall find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 43 games have yielded only 44 points. Huddersfield are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 69 points from 43 games.
