Draw
The best of Port Vale vs Cambridge betting tips would consider a stalemate in this match. This game features two outfits who have struggled in the final third over the last few weeks. The drop points against Portsmouth is another bad remark on Port Vale’s defence which has been shipping an average of almost 1.5 goals per game in recent weeks.
Both outfits have been very poor and they have only shared one victory in the last six matches, so we expect a close game and that often ends up with the teams being tied at the end.
Total goals under 2.5
One can consider going with less than 2.5 goals in the upcoming match, as per this Port Vale vs Cambridge prediction. Port Vale have been conceding goals at an alarming pace while Cambridge are not far behind. However, both outfits have not been decisive in front of goal and this can be a spot of bother for both managers.
Keen to avoid any more drop points in the league, the two might settle for a stalemate, and if they do, it might be a boring one without many goals, which is what we expect to happen.
