Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Port Vale play host to Barrow at their Vale Park in the League Two round 26. The Valiants aim to build on a 2-1 win over Doncaster and a triumph should see them climb to the automatic promotion berth. Jaheim Headley limped off with injury in the last league match, with Sam Hart likely to step up. Defender Kyle John is widely expected to return to the starting XI as well.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run in the English fourth tier. Barrow have been struggling on the travels this term and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Port Vale’s party at Vale Park. Kyle Cameron is a major doubt after suffering an injury in a 2-0 loss to Harrogate, with Neo Eccleston being ready to sneak into the starting line-up.
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.
