Wrexham play host to Walsall at Racecourse Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Red Dragons are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 6 of the 31 games.
The last time the two teams met at Wrexham was just over four years ago, in September 2000, with Walsall inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Red Dragons in a League Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Red Dragons's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Walsall. Home Win
