History of the Bournemouth v Walsall fixture

Bournemouth prepare to entertain Walsall at Dean Court on Monday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 46 games played, Cherries have recorded 20 wins, and Walsall have come away with 12 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Dean Court was just last season, in August 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Bournemouth's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Walsall's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Saddlers, and 6 goals against.

Bournemouth lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola League One, picking up 8 points from their 5 games so far. Walsall's 8 points from 5 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
