Port Vale – Walsall

Port Vale will host Walsall in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides. The home side sit 22nd in the table with just five points from one win, two draws and three defeats, having scored three and conceded seven. Walsall sit comfortably in fifth place, boasting ten points from two victories and four stalemates, remaining unbeaten and enjoying a healthy +4 goal difference with eight scored and four conceded. The disparity in form suggests Vale will need to tighten up defensively and find a breakthrough to dent Walsall’s unbeaten run. A positive result for the Vale could be a lifeline in the relegation scrap, while Walsall will be looking to consolidate their push towards the promotion places.
