Port Vale are stuck to the foot of the table and there doesn’t appear to be too much light at the end of the tunnel for them at the moment. However, they could not ask for an easier home game than this right now. They face Rovers who are second from bottom and only the one point better off. So this is a huge basement battle between the two of them. If one of these picks up the three points it will be their biggest ones of the season so far. Vale are 13/10 to get the points, with Forest Green at 9/4.

Port Vale
Forest GreenPort Vale Form:
Port Vale’s win back on August 5th, on the opening weekend of the season, seems a really long time ago now. They are on a six match losing streak at the moment and the reading gets worse than that really. They have not scored in any of their last five games either so they are not putting up any kind of opposition at all. At home they have lost all three of their fixtures at Vale Park, the last two defeats were by a 1-0 scoreline.
Forest Green Form:
Forest Green have not fared much better really. They are one point better off and that is it, but they are tanking badly out of form as well now. They are on a four match losing streak at the moment and their defence has been horrendous, shipping twelve goals in those four games. Overall their defence has taken a pounding, having conceded 19 goals in their seven games all season. They have scored almost twice as many goals as Vale have though.
Head to Head News:
This is the first ever competitive meeting between the two sides.
Top Betting Tips:
This is such a hard game to call with both of them out of form. Vale have no form at home and the one thing which may tip the balance in this one is the superior scoring power that Forest Green bring to the table. That may be their saving grace in this one and they can take a big three points out on the road.
