Port Vale vs Fleetwood Town Predictions

• Both teams failed to score in three of last five
• Port Vale bottom of League One
• Port Vale have scored just 18 goals this season

Low scoring affair expected at Vale Park

Port Vale host Fleetwood this Friday evening and it  looks set up to be a tight, low-scoring affair, with both sides struggling for fluency in the final third.

Port Vale head into this contest rooted to the bottom of League One and their main issue has been a lack of goals. They have scored just 18 times all season, the lowest tally in the division, although it’s worth noting they haven’t been completely overrun defensively, conceding a relatively modest 31 goals.

Fleetwood haven’t been much more convincing going forward and recent form from both sides points towards a cagey encounter. Both teams have failed to score in three of their last five matches, underlining how often games involving these two are decided by fine margins.

With Port Vale struggling to break teams down and Fleetwood unlikely to take unnecessary risks away from home, goals could be at a premium. On that basis, under 2.5 goals looks the standout betting angle in a match that may be decided by a single moment. Port Vale have home advantage, and are used to playing against slightly better opposition, that may be enough to give them the edge here.
