Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Vale Park will be the centre of attention when Port Vale and Leyton Orient lock horns in the League One round 7. The Valiants are desperate to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Leyton. Port Vale are after their first win of the season, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Both Jayden Stockley and Ben Amos are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The O’s, meanwhile, have suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Mansfield (1-4) and Northampton (0-1) in the last two league games. As both Leyton and Port Vale aim to get back on course in the English third tier, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. The good news for the visiting team is that midfielder Idris El Mizouni is back from suspension.
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.
