📊 Form Guide
Burton Albion
LLDLLL 📉
Burton Albion will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 League One loss in their previous game against Exeter City.
Reece Cole (41') was the scorer for Exeter City.
It’s been all too rare in recent times that Burton Albion have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Burton Albion have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 9 goals during that time.
Their prior results show that Burton Albion:
- have not lost a league tie with Port Vale in their last 2 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 4 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.
Port Vale
LDLLDL ⚠
After a losing effort in their last game against Oxford United in League One competition, Port Vale will be aiming to make amends here.
Ciaron Brown (16') and Josh Murphy (49') scored for Oxford United.
The forward players for Port Vale have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six encounters, contributing the poor return of only 3. In those matches, The Valiants have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 11. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.
Going into this encounter, Port Vale have not won away from home in their last 7 league games.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Looking at their past head-to-head meetings going back to 19/03/2016 shows us that Burton Albion have won 4 of these games & Port Vale 2, with the number of drawn games standing at 0.
In all, 20 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 12 of them from The Brewers and 8 netted by The Valiants. That is an average goals per game value of 3.33.
The last league game between the two was League One match day 7 on 19/09/2023 which ended up with the score at Port Vale 2-3 Burton Albion.
The match was refereed by Ben Toner.

⚡ Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Port Vale may find it difficult to break down this Burton Albion side who should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 advantage for Burton Albion at the end of the 90.
Hopefully it’s a good one.
