Port Vale desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Chesterfield come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Port Vale travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Chesterfield and Port Vale have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Chesterfield a slight edge, but Port Vale are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
