Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Port Vale will try to bounce back from back-to-back losses to Portsmouth and Fleetwood when they take on Leyton Orient on Matchday 18. The Valiants suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Portsmouth and Fleetwood without finding the net and they face yet another tough challenge against Leyton. Uche Ikpeazu has joined the likes of Mitch Clark, James Plant, and Ben Garrity in the recovery room.
The O’s, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays in the League One of late, with the team winning four of their last five league matches and given Port Vale’s poor form, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the midweek showdown. As for the visiting side, Richie Wellens has a full squad to choose from except for Dan Agyei and Max Sanders.
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.
