Port Vale face Crawley Town at Vale Park, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire on Saturday, May 8 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the League 2, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.
Port Vale come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Crawley Town travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Port Vale here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Crawley Town, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Port Vale won 4–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Port Vale a slight edge, but Crawley Town are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
