Port Vale continued their strong recovery last weekend which has seen them now put a three-match winning streak together. They are still only the two points above the drop zone though and that is because the teams around them keep picking up points as well. They get a home game against the unpredictable Swindon on the weekend, with the Robins having pulled off a very solid home win against Wycombe in their last outing. Vale are 8/5 to collect the three points, with Swindon at 7/4.

Port Vale
SwindonPort Vale Form
After winning just one of their opening twelve games this season, Port Vale have sprung into life with a three-match winning streak. They have been starting to score freely while their defence has held its ground as well. They have scored seven goals in their last three games and have shipped just the one. Proof of their recovery came last weekend when they took a 1-0 away win at promotion-contenders Exeter. That was their best result of the season by a country mile. Their home form is only W1 D1 L5 for the season, taking a win over Cheltenham in their last home game.
Swindon Form
Swindon have only managed back to back wins once this season in the division, pulled off a great win of their own last weekend, beating the free-scoring Wycombe 1-0 at home. It means that they have now alternated between a win and a loss in their seven league matches. Out on the road, they have actually done better than they have at home. On their travels, they have picked up a W5 D0 L2 record and have alternated between a win and loss across their last five away games. A defeat would be due them next if it continues.
Head to Head News
These two were both relegated from League One last season and in their games in the higher tier last term, they traded home wins. There’s not been too much between them in recent matches with Swindon going W3 D1 L2 to slightly edge the head to head over the last six. Vale are unbeaten in their last two at home against the Robins.
Top Betting Tips
Port Vale have a pretty good shot at continuing their good form by taking out the Robins. Swindon haven’t been bad on their travels at all but still remain thoroughly unpredictable. Port Vale seems to have settled down and found their groove and can collect a narrow home win.
