Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Newport County, Salford City will look to keep on climbing the standings when Port Vale arrive at Moor Lane. The Lions ended a four-game winless run with a 2-1 triumph over Newport County and produced an impressive attacking display, registering 32 attempts and 2.30 xG. Salford have also won 40% of their last 10 home matches, scoring 1.60 goals per game, although they are yet to keep a clean sheet in that sample.
Port Vale, meanwhile, need a response after a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Swindon. The Valiants managed just seven attempts and 1.03 xG, highlighting their struggles in front of goal. Jon Brady's men have won only once in their last 10 away matches, while averaging just 0.67 goals and conceding 2.00 per game. Simpson and Montsma could both come into the starting XI as Port Vale look for improvement.
The Lions are in better form and Port Vale have struggled badly away. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Salford to Score First and Salford Over 1.5 goals (Salford average 1.60 goals at home and produced 2.30 xG last time out).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 12:30.
