Port Vale vs Bristol Rovers Predictions

• Port Vale are on the longest currently active winning run in League Two.
• Port Vale lost just four of their 21 home league games this term.
• Bristol Rovers are at risk of a losing league H2H double for the first time since 2011/12.

Promotion beckons for Port Vale

A run of five straight league wins has opened up a five point gap to Port Vale’s closest chasers, and with just four games remaining, the hosts could be mathematically uncatchable with as little as two more wins.

Not since the opening game of March have Port Vale tasted defeat (W8, D1 since), and having won the reverse fixture, Port Vale could be well placed to continue that fine form.

All options on the table for Bristol

Given how tight it is at the top, Bristol Rovers could cut the gap to two points with victory, or end up one point away from dropping out of the play-offs altogether with defeat and results elsewhere conspiring against them.

The visitors have just one clean sheet across their last five away games (W2, D1, L2) and that wobbling road form could be a hindrance for Rovers as they make the approximate 250 mile round trip to Vale Park.

We predict that Port Vale will continue their fine winning form here and all but seal automatic promotion in the process. However, Rovers are strong and could keep the margins narrow, a 2-1 home win looks likely.
