Port Vale form and stats

Seven points from three League Two home games is a great start for Port Vale, who are hoping to build on that form here at Vale Park. There’s a good atmosphere here at Vale Park after three straight home wins.

Port Vale lost their last game at Newport County (placed 2nd) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Port Vale had a EFL Trophy home game versus Shrewsbury Town which ended with a victory 2-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Port Vale have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 3 Lost 5.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Port Vale as they are travelling to their away game against Exeter City in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.

Port Vale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 attempts. Port Vale have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Plymouth Argyle form and stats

Plymouth Argyle are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League Two, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Plymouth Argyle has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Plymouth Argyle delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Oldham Athletic (placed 22nd) in their previous match; a League Two game. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bristol Rovers in the EFL Trophy.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Plymouth Argyle playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were 2 Plymouth Argyle wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Plymouth Argyle manager R. Lowe as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Crawley Town.

Plymouth Argyle have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Plymouth Argyle in these games.
