Stevenage hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 23rd position in the League Two table. Visiting Port Vale holds 9th place with 19 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Stevenage nor Port Vale as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Stevenage form and stats
With 1 League Two win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Stevenage are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Stevenage who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Oldham Athletic, 66 days ago.
The Stevenage fans got no joy from their last match, a League Two game also here at The Lamex Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Bolton Wanderers (placed 16th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Northampton Town (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties) that finished 0-0.
Stevenage aren't scoring a lot here at The Lamex Stadium in the league, with only 4 goals from 6 games. 6 goals have been conceded.
Port Vale form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. It's a growing despair in Port as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The attacking players of Port have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 195 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Port, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Newport County in the League Two. A loss against Scunthorpe United was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Port were so close to getting something from the game against Newport County, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal six minutes into overtime.
A quick return to home after this game, as Port are hosting Leyton Orient in the League Two only four days away.
Port Vale have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. Port Vale have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Stevenage three wins, five draws and Port Vale two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
