Bristol Rovers – Port Vale

Bristol Rovers head into the showdown at the Memorial Stadium perched in second place with 12 points from four wins and two defeats, boasting a +4 goal difference after netting 12 and conceding eight. Their opponents, Port Vale, sit precariously at 22nd with just five points from one victory, two draws and three losses, and a -4 goal margin having scored only three while letting in seven. The hosts will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the league, while Vale will be desperate for a point to climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the two sides have rarely met this season, adding an extra layer of intrigue to a fixture that could see the table shift dramatically for both clubs.
