Prediction: 0-2
Portsmouth
Vale Park will host Saturday’s football game between Port Vale and Portsmouth, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Valiants have not been in action in the league since January 6, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the home team. Defender Jesse Debrah is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league fixture and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Pompey, meanwhile, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fleetwood. Portsmouth are eager to retain top position in the standings and given their fine away record in the 2023/2024 League One campaign (8-4-2), we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. Barring any fresh injury worries, John Mousinho is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Cod Army at the weekend.
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.
