Huddersfield Town head into Friday's clash against Port Vale in fine form and we predict that they will defeat the Valiants 3-1. The Terriers have turned their John Smith's Stadium into a real fortress, collecting 1.80 points per game overall and impressing at home with 2.00 PPG. Their attacking potential has been remarkably consistent, averaging 2.50 goals per home match, while their BTTS rate at the John Smith’s Stadium stands at a perfect 100%, signalling their tendency toward open, high-tempo contests. Defensively they remain vulnerable, having kept 0% home clean sheets, but their attacking reliability—0% failed-to-score rate—makes them dangerous against any opponent. Encouragingly, Leo Castledine is expected to recover in time and should strengthen the midfield unit.
Port Vale’s season has been much more erratic. Despite a respectable 1.57 points per game at home, their away form has collapsed to 0.33 PPG, combined with a low 0.67 goals scored per away match and 67% failed-to-score rate on the road. Their defence suffers away from home, conceding 2.33 goals per match, and their expected metrics reflect similar struggles with 1.47 xGA. Defender Connor Hall is likely to miss out, further weakening their back line.
Given Huddersfield's attacking potential and excellent home record, Home Win, Over 2.5 goals and Home Team Over 1.5 markets should definitely be considered. It has to be noted that Huddersfield home games average 4.00 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
