The season is still fairly new and the League Two table has to be read with caution. So far Port Vale find themselves in 2nd position and Harrogate Town are placed 3rd.
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 have only played one League Two game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 8 draws and 1 defeat from 18 matches.
