This weekend Walsall Football Club play host to Barnsley in the latest Sky Bet League One fixture of the season. Below are the latest head-to-head statistics.

In terms of head-to-head of the thirty-nine meetings, it is all square between the two sides, with fourteen draws a piece, there have also been eleven draws between the two sides.

In more recent times, their last meeting took place on 6th May 2006, the Tykes defeating the Saddlers 2-1 at Bescot Stadium.

Marc Richards opened the scoring for Barnsley, with Dean Keates equalising from the spot just before the hour mark. Daniel Nardiello put Barnsley back in the lead with an 83rd minute penalty.

The match was something of a - affair with ten yellows and one red being shown. Ian Roper (2), Andy Oakes, Pablo Mills, Anthony Gerrard and James Constable all saw yellow for the Saddlers with Roper being dismissed for two bookable offences after 78 minutes.

Paul Heckingbottom, Brian Howard, Tommy Wright and Daniel Nardiello were all booked for the visitors, as referee Richard Beeby attempted to clamp down on several rash challenges.
