There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Carabao Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Newport County. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Port Vale form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Port Vale's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Vale Park.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Milton Keynes Dons (1-2).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Stockport County in only three days. This game is also played here at Vale Park.
At Vale Park, Port Vale has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Portsmouth form and stats
Four points from two away games for Portsmouth, meaning one draw and one victory in the League One so far.
Two away matches in a row for Portsmouth, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 vs Newport County in the Carabao Cup. Midfielder Curtis was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.81. Curtis scored two goals and hit two key passes.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Bristol Rovers in the League One.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Portsmouth manager Cowley as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Crawley Town.
It's early days yet, but Portsmouth has scored 5 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
