Prediction: 1-1
Port Vale
Memorial Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Bristol Rovers and Port Vale, the two mid-table sides. Bristol Rovers head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Bolton, with the team eyeing their fourth home win of the process. Both Harry Anderson and Paul Coutts have been struggling with injuries of late, and, as a result, the duo is rated doubtful for the Port Vale clash.
Meanwhile, the Valiants have been showing signs of improvement, with the team beating both Charlton Athletic and Plymouth in the last two league matches. Port Vale have already recorded four wins on the road this term, but beating the Pirates on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. A man to watch in the away team will be James Wilson, who scored a brace in the triumph over Plymouth.
Highlighted Player (Glenn Whelan):
Probably one of the most underrated footballers in Premier League history, Glenn Whelan was born on 13 January 1982 in Dublin and he went on to enjoy a very successful career on club and international level.
Following spells with Manchester City, Bury and Sheffield Wednesday, the defensive midfielder found his peace at the Britannia Stadium, making over 250 Premier League appearances for Stoke City and keeping his place in the side under both Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes. Predominantly focused on doing the dirty defensive work and helping out the back four, Whelan never quite made the headlines for his style of play or quality of his displays, but remained an important player for both club and country.
The midfielder has so far made over 70 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team, wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions, and starting all three group games at the Euro 2012 finals, while helping The Green Army qualify for the Euro 2016 as well.
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.
