Data provided by

Port Vale host Chesterfield at Vale Park at 3pm on Saturday, with the hosts’ outstanding home defensive record set against the visitors’ free-scoring away threat.

Our Port Vale vs Chesterfield predictions and betting tips take on a League Two meeting between a Port Vale side that is miserly at home and a Chesterfield team that scores plenty but travels with a soft centre. Vale Park has been a fortress so far, and that defensive solidity shapes our thinking.

Premium Tips

Port Vale’s remarkable home record catches Anthony Eadson’s eye against a Chesterfield side that concedes on its travels.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Both teams to score – No5/4 (bet365)Port Vale have been outstanding defensively at home, conceding just once across their four games at Vale Park while winning two and drawing two. Those home matches have been tight, low-scoring affairs, with the hosts grinding out a pair of 1-0 wins. Chesterfield score freely but Vale’s rearguard has smothered better attacks than this on its own patch, and the Valiants themselves are low on goals. With one end of this game likely to stay quiet, opposing both teams to score at 5/4 looks the value play.
Port Vale to win to nil9/2 (bet365)It is bold given Chesterfield’s attacking numbers, but Port Vale’s home defensive record demands attention. They have conceded just one goal in four games at Vale Park and kept three clean sheets across the season, grinding out 1-0 wins over Grimsby and Exeter there. Chesterfield have scored 17 but their away form is patchier, with two wins and two defeats on the road. If the Valiants can nick a goal, as they so often do at home, their miserly backline makes a clean-sheet win a genuine possibility at a generous 9/2.

How Port Vale go into the game

Port Vale sit 22nd on eight points, but their home form bears no relation to that lowly standing. At Vale Park they have won two and drawn two of four, conceding just once, with 1-0 wins over Grimsby and Exeter among the highlights.

The problem has been on the road, where they have lost all four away games and scored just once, so this return to their fortress is well timed.

How Chesterfield go into the game

Chesterfield go into the weekend seventh on 15 points and arrive as one of the division’s bigger scorers on 17 goals. Their last outing was a 2-2 draw at Crawley, a third positive result in four.

Away from home the Spireites have been less reliable, winning two but also losing two of five on the road, which hints at vulnerability against a Port Vale side so hard to beat at home.
