Our prediction for this League 2 match:
All eyes will be on Vale Park when Port Vale and Crawley Town square off against each other in the League Two round 36. The Valiants have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Stevenage, sharing the spoils with Harrogate, while losing to Colchester. Port Vale are six points behind the playoffs berth, but keep in mind that they have two games in hand. All Proctor, Harratt, and Benning are pushing for recalls as head coach Darrell Clarke should opt to make changes to the starting XI that suffered the loss at the weekend.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures. Crawley Town are stuck in the middle of the table, and given their anything but good display in a 2-1 loss to Bristol Rovers, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. To make things even worse for the visiting team, defender Jordan Tunnicliffe limped off with injury in the midweek defeat.
