Vale Park will host an interesting League One round 11 clash. Port Vale head into the match on the back of a three-game winning run, showing significant improvement both in defence and attack. They look compact at the back and will be eager to build on their solid form, especially after previously defeating Northampton 1-0 at home. With Liam Gordon and Mitchell Clark sidelined through injuries, the Valiants will have to rely on their depth to extend their positive run.
Northampton, meanwhile, showed resilience last time out by bouncing back from a 2-0 defeat to Wycombe with a hard-fought win over Bolton. However, the Cobblers have struggled on the road this season, a factor that could once again prove costly at Vale Park. Adding to their concerns, they will be without Guthrie, Shaw, and List through injuries. With momentum on their side and Northampton’s travel issues, we predict that Port Vale are going to pick up all three points from the match.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 4 October 2025 at 15:00.
