Port Vale desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 24 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

York City come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Port Vale travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. York City won their last outing, while Port Vale suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

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