Port Vale and Exeter City have delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golf expression. Both reside in mid-table places in the League One.

It's no vacation for neither Port nor Exeter City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

A tale of few goals? 11 of this side's most recent 13 league rounds have seen zero, one or two goals.
