Doncaster aim to bounce back from their heavy 4-0 defeat to Wycombe as they welcome Port Vale on Saturday afternoon and given Port Vale's poor away record, we predict a 2-0 home win. Despite last weekend’s setback, Doncaster’s underlying numbers at home remain encouraging: they average 4.00 total goals per home game, scoring 2.40 themselves, and their 1.60 PPG at the Eco-Power Stadium suggests they’re generally reliable in front of their fans. Their expected goals at home of 2.09 also points to consistent chance creation. With no fresh injury concerns, veteran striker Billy Sharp is pushing for a starting role.
Port Vale continue to struggle for rhythm, winning just two of their last five while dealing with the continued absence of midfielder George Byers. The Valiants come off a 2-2 draw with Burton, and although their away form appears decent on paper (1.50 PPG, 50% away win rate), they score only 0.50 goals per game on the road. Their expected goals away from home sits at 0.88, reflecting a lack of attacking bite.
The H2H strongly favours Port Vale (6 wins in 10), but the current momentum and home metrics lean slightly toward Doncaster. Anyhow, Home Win should be considered due to Doncaster's better attacking numbers at home (2.40 scored). Additionally, Doncaster or Draw and Over 1.5 goals bets seem appealing.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 14 February 2026 at 15:00.
