Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Port Vale
Cheltenham Town play host to Port Vale at their Whaddon Road on day 29 of the 2022/2023 League One campaign. The Robins aim to recover from a 4-2 loss to Plymouth, but given their shaky defence, we do not believe that home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Cheltenham conceded ten goals in total in the previous four league fixtures. Wade Elliott has no fresh injury worries ahead of Saturday’s clash, but midfielder Liam Sercombe is likely to miss out once again.
The Valiants, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Peterborough (0-2) and Port Vale (1-2). Port Vale, though, will not have a better chance than this, and we predict that they will take advantage of Cheltenham’s weak back-line. Ireland forward Ademipo Odubeko is pushing for a start, speaking of the away side.
Highlighted Player (Funso Ojo ):
Funso Ojo is a Belgium international who plays for Aberdeen as a midfielder. Ojo was born in Antwerp on August 28, 1991, starting his youth career at Olse Merksem. In 2004 he was spotted by PSV scouts, moving to Eindhoven very soon.
Funso Ojo made 11 appearances for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie before moving to Beerschot AC, yet another club from his youth career. The Belgium international played for the likes of Royal Antwerp, Dordrecht, Willem II, and Scunthorpe United before signing a deal with Aberdeen in 2019. Funso Ojo made his Scotland Premiership debut in a 3-2 win over Hearts.
Speaking of his international career, Ojo has one cap with the Belgium U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Belgium senior team. His primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a defensive midfielder. As his parents are of Nigeria descent, the Aberdeen footballer has a dual citizenship.
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.
