Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Port Vale will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Doncaster when they take on Newport County on Saturday afternoon. The Valiants desperately needed a win against the Donny and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their eight-game winless run. Port Vale aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Exiles. Defender Jaheim Headley will be assessed ahead of the kick-off after limping off with injury in the last league match.
Newport County, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the League Two. The Exiles aim to escape the danger zone, but given their defensive struggles in 2025, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash. Both Kyle Hudlin and Shane McLoughlin are major doubts after the duo limped off with injuries in the defeat to AFC Wimbledon.
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.
