Prediction: 2-1
Crewe
Port Vale and Crewe go head to head at Vale Park in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Tuesday’s program. The Valiants aim to build on back-to-back wins over Charlton and Carlisle and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Railwaymen. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Devine and Garrity could sneak into the starting XI as boss Andrew Crosby is likely to rest several first-team regulars in the EFL Cup clash.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Bradford City, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. In their last meeting in a competitive match, back in 2019, Port Vale defeated Crewe Alexandra thanks to Jake Taylor’s goal. Teenage midfielder Matus Holicek is widely expected to return to Crewe’s starting XI.
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.
