Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Vale Park pits together Port Vale and Lincoln, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Valiants are desperate to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Imps. Dan Jones limped off with injury in the midweek defeat to Reading, with Conor Grant likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Lincoln have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches. The visitors aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. With no fresh injury worries to report, Michael Skubala is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Exeter at the weekend.
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.
