Stockport County
- Stockport are heavy favorites to beat Port Vale at 1.4 and rightly so as they sit 5th in League One with 71 points from 43 games, while the visitors are one of the worst performing sides in the division, 23rd with just 39 points after 43 games.
- Stockport have only lost two of their last five matches in League One (W1, D2, L2).
- County boast a very sturdy home record with just 23 goals conceded in 21 home League One matches.
Port Vale
- Port Vale have poor away form, winning just five of their 21 away matches in League One.
- Port Vale arrive here averaging just 0.76 goals scored per-game and conceding 1.57 per-game on their travels.
- Vale have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.
Head-to-Head
Stockport County have won both of the last two head-to-heads and thrashed Port Vale 4-0 on their last away trip in the EFL Trophy just two months ago.
Key Players
- Stockport’s talisman is Kyle Wootton, who has scored 18 goals in 43 League One appearances.
- Ryan Croasdale tops the scoring charts for Vale with just four goals in 28 League One games.
Betting Insights
A total of 2.5 goals or fewer at 2.07 looks a good bet and I’ll go for Both Teams to Score - No at 1.78 as I can’t see Vale scoring and I’m not sure Stockport will need to score more than once to win this game.
Prediction
A low-scoring home win looks the most likely outcome.
