Walsall v Port Vale Betting Preview – League One 25th April 7.45pm
A crunch game for Port Vale on Tuesday night. They are in a position where they have to win this game out at Walsall because if they don’t then they will be relegated before they get to the final weekend of the regular season. Can they pull it off? They are taking on a Walsall side who have only managed to win one of their last eight games so there could be a small opening for the visitors who have to leave everything on the pitch in this one.

Walsall v Port Vale Betting Tips
Well, Walsall do actually have a mathematical chance of a top half of the table finish, but they probably are going to miss out on that. They aren’t in great form at the moment as they have won only one of their last eight games in League One now (W1 D3 L4) but the lone win perhaps tellingly for this game, did come on home soil in a win over the already-relegated Swindon. Walsall have been solid at home this season in the league and they produced a fantastic W7 D1 L1 record in their last nine home games and you can’t argue with that. The only defeat from that sequence was against automatic promotion hopefuls, Fleetwood. Walsall aren’t particularly heavyweight when it comes to goals and under 2.5 goals at bet365 is a price of 3/4. Earlier this season when the two met there was a 1-0 win for Walsall. A repeat Walsall 1-0 correct score at Bet365 for this fixture is a price of 6/1. Walsall are currently on a three-match winning streak against Port Vale in League One now and have (W3 D1 L1) in their last five against them.
Port Vale are almost down and out. They will be playing in League Two next season if they don’t pick up a win in this game. If they draw, that would give them a mathematical chance on the last day of staying up, but that would require them to beat Fleetwood handsomely and see Gillingham suffer a big loss. Unfortunately, even if Port Vale win their last two games, it may not be enough. They are currently running on a five-match losing streak in the league and they have hit the back of the net in just one of their last seven league games now. Walsall to win to nil at Bet365 is a tempting 11/4 price. Port Vale have just one away win this season in League One and that came back on October 9th at Milton Keynes. Overall their away record reads W1 D6 L14 and they are on a five-match losing streak away from home, having failed to score in each of their last three. Walsall’s Erhun Oztumer is 6/4 outright favourite in the anytime goalscorer market in a game which is probably going to produce very little.
