Stevenage – 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 Stevenage vs Port Vale lineups.
Stevenage
Stevenage remain close to the leaders and in the mix for promotion but the Stags have cooled down significantly in recent weeks. Stevenage lost 3 of their last 4 games. Last time around they were soundly beaten 0-3 by Blackpool.
The main reason for the recent struggles have been the many individual errors in defence. Piergianni, a rock for the team in the opening 6 rounds, seems to have lost his confidence. His errors resulted in 4 goals conceded in the last 4 games.
Useful inner midfielder MacDonald misses this game suspended. There is some hope that at least one or two of the ailing defenders Sweeney, Wildin and Thompson will recover on time. All of them face late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup:
Ashby-Hammond (GK), Burns, Vancooten, Piergianni, Freeman, Forster-Caskey, Thompson, Butler, Roberts, Pressley & Reid
Port Vale
Port Vale welcomed the international break as right before that they went on an awful 5-game run D1 L4. The Valiants continue to concede lots of goals on the road and this has been a major weakness of theirs all season.
Important midfielder Connor Grant threatens to miss due to illness. Centre-back Dan Jones is still sidelined, as well as important midfielder Conlon and the useful winger Loft.
Predicted Lineup:
Ripley (GK), Cass, Smith, Balmer, Sang, Ojo, Arblaster, Massey, Garrity, Devine & Plant
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Player to Watch: James Plant
Port Vale's 19-year-old striker James Plant is under serious pressure right now. Plant is given a run in the first team this season and he played in all 12 league games so far. Plant started 8 of those games too but he is still waiting for his first goal.
For Port Vale to be winning more often Plant needs to be scoring goals. Can the youngster finally break his duck this weekend?
