Forest Green are set to make a first trip to Walsall since 2019 tomorrow, with hopes of getting back on track after a frustrating Easter Weekend.
Walsall, meanwhile, have drawn 0-0 in three of their last four, and are winless in 20 games.
Here is all you need to know ahead of the game:
What we said:
"Nobody is going to give us the win to get us started again," said Mark Cooper.
"We need to show our ability and be disciplined.
"We've got to enjoy every aspect of the game whether that be running, attacking or defending.
"I believe in the players."
What they said:
“A clean sheet is something that we strive for,” said Walsall boss Brian Dutton.
“We’re not free-flowing, we’re not scoring plenty of goals so we’ve got to keep that back door shut and try and win games 1-0 or 2-0.
"Last time out, the lads put their bodies on the line, defended manfully and they deserved their clean sheet."
Team news:
Jamille Matt and Dan Sweeney are still side-lined, but Rovers have no fresh injury concerns.
Key player: Caolan Lavery
Caolan Lavery joined Walsall in the summer of 2019.
The well-travelled striker netted 10 times in all competitions during his first season at the club.
His breakthrough in England came at Sheffield Wednesday during the 2013-14 season.
Lavery had loan spells at Southend United, Plymouth Argyle, Chesterfield and Portsmouth before crossing the Steel City divide to join Sheffield United in 2016.
He scored four times for the Blades in 2016-17 as they won the League One title and promotion to the Championship.
Further loan spells at Rotherham United and Bury followed before he made a permanent move to the Saddlers.
He has seven goals and two assists this season.
Last time we met:
A goalkeeping masterclass by Walsall's Liam Roberts denied Forest Green victory in a pulsating draw.
Walsall went ahead after 14 minutes through their first meaningful attack as Bristol City loanee George Nurse arrowed over a cross for Caolan Lavery to nod beyond the exposed Luke McGee.
Rovers bossed possession but squandered a plethora of first-half opportunities - Aaron Collins inducing a save from Roberts and Jamille Matt scuffing wide with only the keeper to beat.
Matt had a penalty appeal turned down when falling in the box under the challenge of Hayden White as he prepared to meet an inviting Nicky Cadden cross.
Ebou Adams spurned a golden opportunity to draw parity just five minutes after the resumption but he inexplicably fizzed wide with only Roberts to beat.
Roberts kept Walsall's lead intact when superbly touching over Collins' howitzer from the edge of the box.
But Rovers drew level after 61 minutes, with Collins picking out Matt for a cool close-range finish.
Matt was denied a second with 15 minutes to go as Roberts scooped the ball off the line and he again saved the day again for the Saddlers, clawing away another powerful Collins effort.
Head-to-head:
Rovers have never beaten Walsall.
Of the three league games the sides have played out, two have ended 1-1, with the Saddlers winning the other 2-1.
The two sides have also met in the EFL Trophy.
