Cheltenham vs Port Vale Predictions

  • Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two clubs.
  • Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in 3 of Port Vale’s last 4 matches.
  • Cheltenham have won their last 5 league games.
  • Cheltenham have scored more than 2-goals or conceded more than 1-goal in any of their last 9 league games.

Cheltenham are in the midst of a winning streak

Cheltenham made five consecutive victories as they beat Colchester 2-0 away last time out while Port Vale maintained their unbeaten run thanks to a 2-2 draw at home with Scunthorpe, meaning that the distance between the two clubs in the League Two table increased to 7pts. With five wins and one defeat from their last six matches, Cheltenham head into Saturday’s clash as the form favourites despite the fact that Port Vale are unbeaten in their last six outings.

We’ve backed both teams to score and over 2.5 goals to be produced this Saturday when two teams in good form go head to head. Two fo Cheltenham’s last three home games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals and the same can be said about three of Port Vale’s last four outings, while five of the pairs’ last seven encounters have also ended with both teams scoring and at least 3-goals being scored.

Cheltenham have won eleven of their seventeen home games in League Two this season while Port Vale have already lost seven times on the road, so you can see why we have backed the hosts to claim all 3pts this weekend. The hosts average 2.18 points per home game while the visitors only average 1.17 points per away game, which suggests that the most likely result on Saturday is a Cheltenham win.

Port Vale have lost seven times on the road this season

The hosts score an average of 2.06 goals per home game and concede 1.00 goals and Port Vale score an average of 1.22 goals per away game but concede 1.61 goals, which is why we have gone with a final scoreline prediction of 2-1 to Cheltenham this Saturday. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 65% of Cheltenham’s home games while 71% have seen both teams score, and 56% of Port Vale’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals and 61% have seen both teams score.

Despite good overall performances in League Two this season, the hosts have only kept clean sheets in 24% of their home games and the visitors have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their away trips, with Cheltenham only failing to score in 6% of their home matches. Seven of Cheltenham’s wins this season have been via a 1-goal margin and a majority of Port Vale’s defeats (5) have also been by a 1-goal margin, which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a 2-1 home win this weekend.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Cheltenham. The hosts head into this weekends’ clash as the form favourites but Port Vale are in a good run of form themselves, which is why we are expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair. However, the hosts are strong at home where they have a 65% win ratio and Port Vale have struggled on the road, losing 39% of their matches, and we have backed the hosts to claim all 3pts on Saturday.
