Port Vale are still searching for their first League Two victory of the season as they prepare to welcome Crewe. The Valiants have gone three games without a win and were held to a 1-1 draw by Tranmere at the weekend. Their home form is particularly worrying, with Port Vale failing to win any of their last four matches at home and scoring just 0.25 goals per game during that run. George Byers limped off with an injury in the Tranmere clash, meaning Rhys Walters could step into midfield.
Crewe, meanwhile, head into this clash with confidence after consecutive 1-0 victories over Crawley and Northampton. The Railwaymen have also kept clean sheets in both of those wins, highlighting a defence that could frustrate a Port Vale side struggling for goals. Mickey Demetriou is another boost for the visitors, with the important defender returning from suspension.
Port Vale have averaged only 1.00 total goals per game across their last four at home and given Crewe's solid defence, Under 2.5 goals seems like the best betting option for this League Two matchup, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 12:30.
