Recent respective form guides
Walsall will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.
Hull City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Tigers, and 3 goals against.
Walsall find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 51 points from their 43 matches. Hull City are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola League One, and have accumulated 86 points from the 43 games they have played so far.
