There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the League Two table so far. Here's the Port Vale - Salford City latest:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Port Vale form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Vale Park as Port Vale have scored 22 goals to get 30 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the League Two are 8-6-1 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Vale Park.
Port Vale's previous game was a League Two match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Exeter City (placed 2nd). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Swindon Town.
Port Vale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 15 games. From these home matches, Port Vale have conceded only 12 goals.
Salford City form and stats
6-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Salford City in their League Two matches away. Salford City has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Two travels in a row for Salford City, whose manager G. Alexander could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Cambridge United. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Oldham Athletic.
As mentioned above, Salford City was the only team on the pitch versus Cambridge United in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
