Fleetwood vs Port Vale Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Winning away games was something that Port Vale did regularly towards the back end of last season, with the eventual runners-up securing five victories in their final eight trips. Fleetwood, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their own patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash.

Over the course of their last 10 matches at the top table of the League One, Fleetwood have been involved in eight encounters in which under 2.5 goals have been scored. Given that 12 of the previous 17 Port Vale away games at this elite level have followed the same pattern, anyone expecting this clash to serve up more than two goals is likely to be disappointed.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Fleetwood, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Port Vale are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
