Port Vale

DWLLDW ⚖

Port Vale, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-4 League Two success over Newport County.

For Port Vale, the goals were scored by Jayden Stockley (6', 36'), Ethan Chislett (48') and Lorent Tolaj (54'). Aaron Wildig (24') was the scorer for Newport County.

Matches featuring Port Vale have proved to be exciting encounters recently with a lot of goalmouth action being a real hallmark. Over their past 6 clashes alone, a total of 20 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 10 of them being chalked up by Port Vale. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, of course.

Ahead of this meeting, Port Vale have not won at home in their last 5 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Chesterfield

For Chesterfield, goals were scored by James Berry-McNally (28') and Dilan Markanday (45'). Charles Vernam (50') was the scorer for Grimsby Town.

A series of outstanding showings by the Chesterfield defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 outings overall. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 10.

Going into this contest, Chesterfield are winless against Port Vale when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
