Port Vale desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 13 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Port Vale come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Salford City, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Port Vale head into this on the back of a defeat, while Salford City arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Port Vale and Salford City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Port Vale won 0–1.

Verdict: Salford City's quality should tell even on the road. Port Vale will push, but the visitors have too much class. Salford City to win.
