Prediction: 2-1
Bristol Rovers
Port Vale play host to Bristol Rovers at their Vale Park in what is expected to be a close League One clash. The Valiants desperately needed a win against Burton Albion and they managed to get one, with the team recording their first victory since December 29, 2023. Port Vale are determined to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Pirates. Both Dan Gore and Uche Ikpeazu remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Tom Sang should be recalled to the starting XI.
Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in the remainder of the season. As the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to place our bets on Darren Moore’s men. James Wilson is back from suspension, while all Jordan Rossiter, Jack Hunt, and Luke McCormick are injured for the visiting team.
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.
