After losing their first two matches against Walsall in the top four tiers of English football, Accrington Stanley have won each of their last two – with the most recent a 2-1 win in April 2019 in League One.
Both of Walsall’s two previous league visits to Accrington Stanley have ended in a 2-1 scoreline, with both sides winning one each.
