Portsmouth vs Port Vale Top Predictions and Best Odds

Portsmouth will look like the favorite in this round 38 match of League One against Port Vale.

Portsmouth to Win

Looking at the Portsmouth vs Port Vale prediction, a home team's victory might be in the offing considering their recent run of good form. Portsmouth has won three out of their last five matches and are trying to close down the gap toward a top-six position which is running away from them by seven points before this weekend's clash against Port Vale. The home team earned 15 victories this season contrary to 12 by their latest opponent who also won only once in their past five encounters with three losses on the record. Portsmouth won their only meeting this season, and before that game, the last time they played was over 20 years ago so those matches aren't relevant today.

Under 2.5 Goals

Besides Portsmouth vs Port Vale ending their first game with a single goal as the difference-maker earlier this season, their record in League One is also worth noting considering the type of bet for this particular prediction. Portsmouth has played 21 under 2.5 goals matches including three out of their last five while Port Vale had 19 games with fewer than three goals scored, and also three from their final five encounters. Both teams have the same average when it comes to goals scored in their matches, the average stands at 2.5 goals.

Portsmouth vs Port Vale Lineups, Team News, and Preview

Portsmouth

After losing twice in a row, Portsmouth managed to get two straight victories which got them back on track to possibly break into the top six of League One. It is still a tough proposition because they are seven points away from Derby and Bolton who have 64 points inside those lines, but there is still hope for the home team as they are looking to add their third straight win. Jayden Reid, Marlon Pack, and Zak Swanson are expected to miss the match due to injury. Joe Morell and Dane Scarlett are away on international duty while Joe Pigott is suspended.

Potential lineup: Macey, Rafferty, Raggett, Towler, Ogilvie, Thompson, Mingi, Tunnicliffe, Lane, Bishop, Hackett-Fairchild.

Port Vale

The visiting side has a different agenda on their collective minds, they won't be fighting for promotion playoffs anytime soon, instead, they are focused on keeping their feet strongly in the middle of the table to avoid any potential disruptions and possibly getting tangled into a battle to remain in the league. Port Vale is currently eight points away from the relegation zone. Leading striker Ellis Harrison will lead the team at Portsmouth. There is a couple of injury concerns for the team: Dan Jones and Gavin Massey won't be available this weekend.

Potential lineup: Stone, Donnelly, Smith, Forrester, Robinson, Conlon, Pett, Ojo, Worrall, Harrison, Taylor.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Colby Bishop

It is rare these days to find a player that can play constantly in a tough league. Colby Bishop leads Portsmouth with 16 goals this season while he played in 36 games, one short of a full schedule. He also recorded three assists.
