Lincoln aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Wycombe and given Port Vale's poor form, 1-0 home win is our prediction for Saturday's League One clash. The Imps return home looking strong, with 2.25 PPG at Lner Stadium and a solid defensive base — conceding just 0.50 goals per home match. Their clean-sheet rate at home (50%) underlines how difficult they are to break down, and although they sometimes struggle to score. Charlie Parks' injury should not be a big issue for the hosts.
Port Vale’s defensive inconsistency should give them openings. The Valiants' overall form is patchy, with just 1.00 PPG and a worrying 60% failed-to-score rate, meaning long attacking droughts are common. Their away output is modest (0.75 goals scored per game), and they concede 1.50 on the road. Both Mitchell Clark and Liam Gordon continue to miss out with injuries for the away team, which supports our betting prediction.
The H2H strongly favours Lincoln, who have won 5 of the last 9 meetings. Given aforementioned statistical numbers, all Home Win, Under 2.5 goals and Lincoln to Score First seem like the best betting options for this matchup.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 29 November 2025 at 15:00.
