Port ValeNo absentees
Our York City vs Port Vale predictions turn to a League Two fixture pitting York’s unbeaten home record against a Port Vale side that has been excellent at home but abject on the road. Something has to give at the LNER Community Stadium. Kick-off is 3pm on Saturday.
York sit sixth and have turned their stadium into a fortress, scoring 14 goals in six home games. Port Vale, by contrast, have taken zero points on their travels of late and scored just twice away all season, so the hosts hold a clear edge.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has studied the LNER Community Stadium fixture and come away with two bets, starting with York’s in-form frontman.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Ollie Pearce To Score Anytime | 29/20 (Ladbrokes) | Ollie Pearce has been York’s talisman this season, sharing top billing in their scoring charts with six goals in 11 games as the focal point of a side that has turned the LNER Community Stadium into a fortress. York are unbeaten at home, where they have scored 14 goals in six matches, and they face a Port Vale team that has been dreadful on the road, taking zero wins and scoring just twice in five away trips. With Vale likely to sit deep and soak up pressure, Pearce should get chances, and 29/20 for the striker to score anytime is a fair price given his form. |
| York City to win to nil | 51/20 (10bet) | Port Vale have struggled for goals on their travels, scoring just twice in five away games and failing to score in three of them. They have not scored more than once in any league game this season. York City are unbeaten at home, with four wins and two draws, and kept clean sheets in their 4-0 and 3-0 home wins. With Ollie Pearce leading the line, York should find a way through, and 10bet’s 51/20 on them winning without conceding is the bigger-price option. |

How York City go into the game
York City have enjoyed an impressive campaign so far, sitting sixth on 17 points from 11 games with a positive goal difference of plus six. The Minstermen are unbeaten at home and have drawn their last three League Two games 1-1, against Accrington Stanley, Newport County and Northampton Town, a run that shows their reliability if not a ruthless streak.
Home is where York are at their most dangerous. They have won four and drawn two of their six matches at the LNER Community Stadium, scoring 14 goals and conceding just five, with a 3-0 win over Gillingham the pick of the bunch. Only once in 11 games have they failed to find the net, so goals should not be a problem against a vulnerable visiting defence.
How Port Vale go into the game
Port Vale present a curious case. They sit 20th on 12 points from 10 games, yet three wins in their last five hint at a side finding some rhythm, with 1-0 victories over Chesterfield and Grimsby Town among recent results. The problem is that all of that good work has come at Vale Park.
On their travels, Vale have been dismal. They are without a win in five away games, losing four and drawing one, and have scored just twice on the road all season while conceding nine. That form, set against York’s commanding home record, makes a tough afternoon likely for the visitors at the LNER Community Stadium.
York City vs Port Vale head-to-head
These two clubs have not met in recent seasons, so current form rather than history is the only guide. On that measure, York’s excellent home record and Port Vale’s dismal away form point firmly in one direction.
