Burton – Port Vale preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Port Vale vs Burton lineups.
Port Vale
Port Vale opened their season with a shameful 0-7 away loss vs Barnsley. The reaction to that humiliation couldn’t have been more convincing with the Valiants unbeaten in the next 6 rounds. Last weekend they edged Northampton 1-0 for their fifth consecutive clean sheet at home.
Port Vale are yet to drop points on home turf this season – 3 wins in 3.
Remain without the sick centre-back Jones and the long-term absentee Tom Conlon. Also, wing-back Clark might not be fit to start as he is nursing a minor knock.
Predicted Lineup:
Ripley (GK), Balmer, Smith, Iacovitti, Sang, Ojo, Arblaster, Plant, Devine, Chislett & Wilson
Burton
Burton were poor once more on their visit to Barnsley last Saturday. The Brewers lost 0-2 and once again never looked like scoring. Goalkeeper Crocombe was at fault for both goals, while striker Kamwa was hugely disappointing and never created anything.
Burton are yet to win this season and they’ve collected just 2 points from 7 games. This is mainly because the Brewers struggle to score goals, only 2 in 7 rounds.
Fit-again goalkeeper Blackman should start between the posts in this match. Also, the main left-back Seddon is back from a ban and is expected to play. Hopes are that captain Brayford will overcome a minor knock and feature too.
Remain without the injured striker Stockley but after sitting out the first 5 games injured, Walker is fit and available. Hopes are that this will finally bring a spark in attack.
Predicted Lineup:
Blackman (GK), Brayford, Hughes, Moon, Seddon, Oshilaja, Powell, Harper, Helm, Gordon & Walker
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Connor Ripley
Port Vale’s goalie Connor Ripley is one of the main reasons why the Valiants went on a 6-game unbeaten run. Ripley kept 3 clean sheets in 3 home matches too and he has been producing outstanding saves by the bucket full in these matches.
If Port Vale want to continue their unbeaten run Ripley will likely have to be at his best again and that’s why he is our pick for a player to watch.
