🗞️ Team News: Port Vale
The Port Vale boss Darrell Clarke does not have any fitness concerns at all before this match with a fully injury-free group to pick from.
In all likelihood, The Valiants may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation, handing starts to Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Danny Batth, Daniel Ballard, Luke O'Nien, Edouard Michut, Dan Neil, Patrick Roberts, Abdoullah Ba, Jack Clarke and Joe Gelhardt.
📋 Team News: Burton Albion
Burton Albion boss Dino Maamria has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. William Kokolo (Unknown Injury) and Louis Moult (Ankle Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
It’s our belief that The Brewers seem most likely to play in a 3-5-2 lineup, choosing Ethan Horvath, Gabriel Osho, Tom Lockyer, Amarii Bell, Cody Drameh, Marvelous Nakamba, Allan Campbell, Luke Berry, Alfie Doughty, Elijah Adebayo and Carlton Morris.
🔮 Prediction
When taking everything into account, Burton Albion will really need to work well to see themselves scoring against this Port Vale outfit who we think might well score one, at least.
Therefore, we predict a highly competitive game with a 1-0 win for Port Vale at the end of this one.
Little in this one.
