Prediction: 0-2
Port Vale
The People’s Pension Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Crawley Town and Port Vale, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Red Devils suffered a dip in form, and following three consecutive defeats the team dropped to 16th place in the standings. Crawley Town are desperate to get back on course, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Valiants.
As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Kwesi Appiah, who has been scoring goals for fun of late. Port Vale, on the other hand, aim to put an extra pressure on league leaders Forest Green. The Valiants did well to crush Colchester 3-0 in their last league match, and they should take advantage of Crawley’s dreadful losing run. James Wilson, who managed to put an end to his goal drought at the weekend, is likely to prove a handful for Crawley Town back-line.
Highlighted Player (Lewis Young ):
Lewis Young is an experienced defender who plays for Crawley Town in the League Two. Young has a very interesting football career as he played for eight English clubs before joining Crawley Town.
The Watford product had an opportunity to play for the likes of Hereford United, Burton Albion, Forest Green, Northampton Town, Yeovil Town, Aldershot Town, and Bury, but he has never received a call-up for the England national team. Lewis Young wears the No. 2 shirt at Crawley Town’s primary position is right-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a right midfielder as well.
It is well known that Lewis Young is the younger brother of Inter Milan full-back Ashley Young, who played for the likes of Watford, Aston Villa, and Manchester United in the Premier League. Lewis Young has a dual citizenship as his father is of Jamaican descent. He was born in Stevenage, England on September 27, 1989.
Highlighted Team (Port Vale):
Nicknamed the Valiants, Port Vale are a professional club that compete in the League Two. Port Vale welcome their rivals at Vale Park, and they wear white and black kit when playing in front of home fans. Yellow, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The Valiants’ home ground, which was built in 1950, can hold up to 49,768 people. Championship side Stoke City are seen as one of the club’s fiercest rivals, but their rivalry is pretty healthy. The two teams first met on December 2, 1882, with the Potters emerging triumphant (1-0).
The Valiants maintain a rivalry with fellow League 2 club Crewe Alexandra as well. Speaking of the club’s titles, it has to be noted that Port Vale have won Football League Trophy on two occasions (1993, 2001). A 9-1 win over Chesterfield from September 24, 1932 is the club’s biggest triumph.
