Port Vale host Peterborough in what shapes up to be an intriguing League One clash, but given the Posh's fine form, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Pilgrims played out a 2-2 with Luton Town at the weekend, despite missing Clark and Gordon, who were not key starters. Port Vale have been inconsistent this season, winning just 30% of their matches, but scoring 1.6 goals per game and conceding 1.5, making them capable of contributing to high-scoring affairs. At home, they average 1.57 points per game, with a 43% clean sheet rate.
The Posh enter on a positive run, with back-to-back wins over Reading and Northampton. The Posh have a stronger overall record, winning 60% of their matches this season, scoring 1.6 goals per game while conceding only 0.8, though their away clean sheet rate drops to 0%. H2H favors Peterborough historically, with 7 wins in the last 12 meetings.
With Peterborough leading the H2H record and producing fine performances in League One of late, Away Win should be considered, alongside Over 1.5 and 2.5 goals as 58% of H2H matches have featured 2 or more goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 15:00.
