The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Port Vale are in the 16th position while the guesting Barrow worry at 22nd.
- Barrow is in the worst form (1-0-5)
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Port Vale form and stats
3-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Port Vale so far this season. Port have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
No payout for Port Vale in their previous match, an away game at Walsall that ended in defeat 3-4. In the match before that, Port hosted Forest Green Rovers and drew the game 1-1.
A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Walsall) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. A goal frenzy last time out for Port Vale, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Walsall. Fun stuff to watch!
The manager J. Askey will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bradford City in only three days.
Port has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. On the other hand, Port have conceded 12 goals.
Barrow form and stats
Barrow, who have the fewest points (4) away in League Two, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the League Two, after 1-1-7 (9 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Barrow are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Harrison Biggins, Luke James and Scott Quigley scored in Barrow's previous match, the home game against Cheltenham Town that ended 3-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Scunthorpe United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
After this away game Barrow return home for a League Two game against Tranmere Rovers. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visiting Barrow have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 9 goals from 9 games. Barrow have conceded 15 goals in these games.
