Northampton vs Port Vale Predictions

  • Northampton have won 2 of their last 3 home games against Port Vale.
  • Northampton are unbeaten in their last 9 matches in all competitions.
  • Port Vale have lost their last 2 away games.
  • Northampton have kept clean sheets in their last 3 matches.

The hosts have already won ten times at home this season

Northampton won 1-0 away at Macclesfield last weekend while Port Vale were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Salford, meaning the gap between Saturday’s competitors was increased to 7pts. The head to head record between these two clubs is level over their last 23 meetings, but Northampton have won two of their last three home games against Port Vale.

The hosts head into this weekends’ clash as the form favourites with four wins from their last six matches and look to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to ten games this weekend. Northampton have looked strong at the back in recent weeks, keeping clean sheets in their last three games, while Port Vale have lost their last two away games and failed to score in the most recent of those against table-toppers Swindon.

Northampton have won ten of their fifteen home games so far this season while Port Vale have already lost seven times on the road, with the hosts averaging 2.13 points per home game and the visitors averaging just 0.93 points per away game. Northampton boast a 67% win ration in their own backyard and Port Vale have lost 47% of their trips on the road, so you can see why we have backed a home win this weekend.

Port Vale need to improve on the road if they are to finish in the playoff places

The home side score an average of 1.87 goals per home game and only concede 0.67 goals and we have backed a final scoreline of 2-0 which matches up with these particular stats. Only 40% of the hosts’ home games have produced over 2.5 goals this season and only 40% have seen both teams score, adding further weight to our prediction for a 2-0 Northampton win on Saturday.

Northampton have kept clean sheets in 47% of their home games and the visitors have failed to score in 27% of their away games, with exactly 2-goals being scored in 33% of the hosts’ home games this season. A majority of Northampton’s wins this season (9) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more, while three of Port Vale’s defeats have been via a margin or 2-goals or more.

We’re confident that Northampton will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts have been excellent at home so far this season while Port Vale have struggled on the road. Northampton keep a lot of clean sheets at home and this is where we believe they will make the basis for all 3pts on Saturday against a Port Vale side that concede an average of 1.67 goals per away game.
