Team News

Walsall
Mansfield

  • Defender Alfie Kilgour will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles but has had surgery as the 25-year-old begins his rehabilitation.

Prediction

  • Walsall head into this game with pressure mounting on head coach Mat Sadler after yet another winless run. After Christmas the Saddlers were close to the playoffs but the loss of Freddie Draper has derailed their season.
  • Mansfield scored nine goals at home to Harrogate and will be hoping to add more to their tally against a Walsall side who don't keep clean sheets often.
  • Walsall have not lost in their last three home games against Mansfield.
  • Mansfield are just one point behind leaders Stockport, Walsall are down in 16th.
