York – Port Vale

York host Port Vale at the York Community Stadium in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides. Sitting sixth with 17 points from four wins, five draws and two defeats and a solid 19‑13 goal difference, York will be looking to cement a top‑half finish. Port Vale, languishing at the foot of the table in 20th place with 12 points from three victories, three draws and four losses and a modest 6‑10 tally, will need a result to kick‑start their survival bid. The two teams have yet to meet this season, but York’s superior record and home advantage could prove decisive as the fight for promotion and relegation intensifies.
