- They haven’t played their best soccer in the last few games, recording two consecutive 3-1 away defeats before the 0-0 draw with Barnsley at home, and have lost two of their last five (W1, D2, L2).

Head-to-Head
Stevenage have won two and drawn one of the last three head-to-head meetings in League One.
Key Players
- Stevenage are a narrow side that are solid and well-organised, usually playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation and relying on the pace and ability of Jamie Reid to run at the opposition from number 10.
- Alex Revell has built this team to be an organisation first and foremost since his appointment in April 2024 and they can be relied on to keep things compact and make transitions through the middle with pace and purpose.
- Port Vale are much more of a wide team, playing with a three or four at the back and needing to get width and physical presence into the box to their strikers.

- The odds for this one look very good with Stevenage at 2.0, Port Vale outsiders at 3.69 and the draw 3.15.
- Port Vale have only won 3 away matches all season.
