First Prediction For Port Vale vs Walsall – Match Result – Draw – 11/5
This eagerly anticipated clash between the two best teams in League Two could be an entertaining affair. Port Vale currently sit top of the table, with Walsall in second. However, there is just one point between the pair with the Saddlers having played a game less. Walsall haven’t tasted defeat in the league since the beginning of October, although have drawn three of their last five. Port Vale have drawn their last two, the first coming at home against local rivals Crewe Alexandra before they picked up a point on the road against Cheltenham Town on Tuesday. Similar could happen here, with both teams cancelling each other out.
Second Prediction For Port Vale vs Walsall – Both Teams To Score – Yes – 69/100
Walsall head into this fixture as the highest scorers in the division with 33 goals. As for Port Vale, they have hit the back of the net a very respectable 26 times. The Valiants do have a strong home record having not lost at Vale Park since August, but they have conceded in every home game since beating Chesterfield 1-0 in September. This leads to the conclusion that it could be an open game full of goals as both teams look to gain the initiative in the race for the League Two title.
Third Prediction For Port Vale vs Walsall – Port Vale – Draw No Bet – 37/50
Walsall may not have lost on the road since a 1-0 defeat at MK Dons in September, but last weekend’s FA Cup exit at home to Charlton Athletic shows they are beatable. Although it was against a higher league opposition, only 13 places separated the two teams in the football pyramid, so for the Addicks to emerge with a 4-0 victory at the Bescot Stadium was a bit of a shock. Port Vale will be hoping to take advantage of that and gain three points here. Anything less will see the visitors maintain the advantage, with their game in hand potentially crucial in the title race. Vale have only lost at home once in the league, so backing them with a draw no bet option is the sensible choice.
