Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Port Vale play host to Tranmere Rovers at their Vale Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting fixtures of Saturday’s program. The Valiants aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Northampton, but they face a difficult task in their first home game of the season. Considering that first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Covolan misses the match through suspension, home win should not be considered.
The Super Whites, on the other hand, did remarkably well to beat Walsall in the opening match of the season. Even though Tranmere Rovers will be without talented midfielder Chris Merrie in Saturday’s game, we predict that they will hold Port Vale to a draw at Vale Park. Experienced midfielder Sam Foley is widely expected to replace Chris Merrie in the starting line-up.

David Amoo is a professional football player who was born in Southwark, London, England on April 13, 1991. Amoo spent his youth career at the likes of Millwall and Liverpool, but nowadays he plays for League Two side Port Vale.

David Amoo made his League Two debut with Port Vale on August 3, 2019, in a 1-1 draw with Colchester United.
He scored his first goal for the Valiants in a 1-1 draw with Northampton Town seven days later. His primary position is a right winger, but he is often used as both left winger and second striker. David Amoo has dual citizenship (England/Nigeria).
Highlighted Team (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
