💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Crawley Town should get enough chances to breach the defence of this Port Vale team, but it probably shouldn’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We are anticipating a 2-1 win for Port Vale when all is said and done. It really should be an interesting one.
